Redcat Rampage MT -How It Works & Overview 

Awesome! Congrats man! Biggest thing is. Tear it down and blue loctite the metal to metal screws and a remote killswitch. The rest is gravey. It is tough to not put fuel in it and drive it. Make it reliable with the loctite. Otherwise you will be carrying it back lol. Guaranteed. Hope you have as much fun with yours as I have with mine over the years. Appreciate you stopping by 👊 🤘

@@SteelCityRC already ordered my friend! It's a big responsibility having a 35mph unit running around. There's no doubt at the very least it'll break someone's leg or a dent in a vehicle. Killswitch is cheap insurance.

Appreciate that man. I love RC bro and the Rampage MT was the start of it all. Very fun to drive too.

The word ‘entry level’ is so pointless IMO. Anyone can go out and buy the most high end 5th scale machine and destroy it…same with the more inexpensive options. At the same time…there is nothing entry level about a $900+ price tag for an RC either. In the electric world, that kind of money buys you the best of the best. I look at the MT and DR as great ‘upgradable’ options. You can buy it and start enjoying it right away, and slowly modify it as you go. Either way, it’s still a very large and relatively complex machine compared to almost any electric RC cars. It requires far more understanding of engines, drive terrains, electrical components, etc etc other than just basic gear ratios and power limits.

Appreciate that man. I really dig this truck and love to share my experiences with it. To possibly save people of the same agony I went through. Any questions hit me up!! Thanks for watching!

@@SteelCityRC funny thing is , I bought one of these in Rosewell Nm a while back. I couldn't start it and now I wonder if it was vapor locked🤦‍♂️. I wish I would have seen this then. 😁.

Thanks man. Been hacking on this Rampage for years lol. It is by far my favorite RC. It needs love. But who doesn't right? It turned out to be a very formidable RC that has no problem hanging with 5iveT s. Any questions hit me up. I also have a bunch of repair and upgrade videos in the lineup. I did a diff rebuild video that gets you as close to bulletproof as a Redcat can get lol. Thanks for the sub and checking out my video!!!

Awesome thanks!

There ya go bro. You use Ram-tec adapters? I don't know much about the X-series but heard of those. That truck with baja tires probably helps low end too I'd guess. They aren't as tall as stock XT tires right?

Steel City RC yes Ram-tech adapters and it totally changed the handling characteristics. The stock XT tires are junk my foam in them completely deteriorated causing them to go flat and get out of balance bad. I got more low end and big end both just because the stock XT tires were flat. Plus the Baja tires are lighter with less rotating weight.

Right on brother. These Redcats can be good with some love and wits. I found even with top name brands they have the same corner cutting issues the cheaper Redcats have. So ya end up upgrading both brands. I love this truck and always will. Appreciate you stopping by! 🤘👊

Thanks! I really like the MT and DR. Good rigs. The XBE is cool too. Just wish it had a little more room on the chassis. Great speed run rig though. GnR so funny I had this same poster back in 1987. Had to have the t shirt lol

You are welcome. Thanks for watching

Jjjjjjjjj

Let me know how you like it. Thanks for stopping by 👊 🤘

Ya it is different for sure. I really like it. Although I do have a decent amount of money in it lol.

@@SteelCityRC are parts like the belt drive still available?

@@FoundryRC not sure on the belt drive. Been a few years since I bought it. But others have said they can't find it. I have a US based seller for replacement belts. So that's not an issue.

RC brother. What's up man. I got to know this RC very well not by choice. I failed to mention in this video that this truck has really tested my patients the first year of ownership. It got to the point where I was gonna stuff a rag in the gas tank. Light the rag and run the truck till it couldn't anymore lol. Through trial and error finally made it rugged enough to actually use it. The single servo works pretty good but it isn't perfect. I'd really like to run dual Hitec d845 servos. But this time powering the servos directly to the lipo rx battery and send just the signal wires to the rx. That would eliminate the voltage drop issues I was having running the servos through the rx. It actually would drop the voltage so low it would trip the superbee killswitch and shut the engine off on hard turns. So I got frustrated and put a single in there. Then laziness has kept me from doing the wiring and dual servos lmao. It working ok is another factor ahahahaha

@@SteelCityRC I hear you man!! The frustrations on those damn gears usually is what gets people. For me it's those original MT tires, they are cool looking, but the deadlock is poorly designed compared to a basic baja rim. I find that the deadlock of the MT rim literally cuts away at the tire because it's too sharp and just poorly designed in general, Did you have that?

@@hybrid32494 no I did not have that problem with the stock MT tires. My issue was the sheer weight and size. I used to eat suspension and driveline parts. Now it's a rarity

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fPnsUHX77mc.html

Man I thought a year or so ago we met through RU-vid. Then Facebook? 😁 Either way. What's up my RC brother?? Glad you made it on here to check out my video. Really appreciate it man! 👊🤘

What's up man!! The XT transmission and center diff are very similar. If not the same. Not sure many other similarities. But I almost bought a XT when I bought the MT brand new. Was a tough decision. Appreciate you stopping by 👊 🤘

@@SteelCityRC ;I appreciate the Quick Response Bro;And if I need any Tech Advice with the Truck;I hope U don't mind Me hittin U up! Thanks Again & B Safe! 👊

@@iamlightfoot not at all. Hit me up

@@SteelCityRC;Thanks Man! Will do!👊

Hey thanks! I tried to go through all the good and bad of the Redcat 5th scales. A lot of this info is similar to the Chimera which is based off the X series of Rampage. The belt system. I bought six years ago. From what others have said. It is no longer available. There was a guy in a Redcat Rampage group on Facebook who was making up a kit. But I haven't seen him in months. Not surr what his deal is currently. Appreciate you stopping by 👊 🤘

Agreed. It would be rather stupid to get rid of them. Heck even bald they would make good on road tires lol. Thanks for stopping by!!

Thanks man. Needed a quick once over for tomorrow. Glad I did. Found the steering servo horn screw a bit loose. Belt has a bit of slack too. I have a spare and takes minutes to replace. But ya man. The belt was one of the best things I've done for this truck. Really woke it up. Although I've heard guys say the stock engine has trouble pulling the taller gearing. Even a stock Zenoah g320 pulled well in here.

So you got the Zen 32 in your truck? They are solid motors👍

@@DougStarRC I had the Zenoah g320 in here about a year or so. Ddm racing had ESP race ported head and piston kits on deal of the day. I bought two. On for the MT and Dunerunner. Yes very solid engines. What's nice. You can buy a longblock and swap your flywheel and covers over to it for around $150. Starts up every time. Love it

Thats what i did when i bought my OBR motors 👍 just bought the blocks and added all my own bits👍 how are the esp head kit? Do notice a big difference?

@@DougStarRC that is the way to go the longblock. The ESP ported head was a big difference. Definitely revs higher and has more power in the low to mid range.

Hey pleasure to meet you Justin. Glad you are able to have fun with RC still since your injury. I can imagine the hassle. It is a pain for me to remember all the prep work and gear needed. So you have even more prep. So you would like to get your truck as maintenance free as possible. I get it. Well you are on the right track. Glad you found my channel as I can for sure help you out and would bring great pleasure for me. Anything you need. Hit me up. There is a way for private messaging on here. I just have yet to figure it out. Never tried. But if we can get linked up. I can help you put. Lemme know. Thanks for watching

LMFAO Ya know what you do? You run around after it trying to hit that little red kill button on the engine... Or try to flip it over. So dangerous.. Hahahaha. I had this truck run away on me 3 times in one day. Was using a Flysky radio system. The coil or spark plug would interfere with the receiver. It went WOT each time. Luckily the Superbee killswitch still worked. I sold that radio system to an electric guy and got a Futaba 4PLS. Been golden since. That Redcat gear system may be better if it had hardened steel gears. I broke teeth once I upped the engine. Learned about the belt system on the Rampage Forum. Been belt since. 3 years using the belt system only replaced two belts . One broke the other was really stretched so I replaced it. Thanks for checking out my truck brother!! Braaap

Steel City RC man bro yeah them runnaways suck! Hahaha!🤣! You cant help but laugh once you get them shut down🤣😂🤣! ⛽️⛽️🤜🏼🤛🏼

Glad to be of help man. Even more happy to see another Rampage MT owner. Great truck with some love. Looks like you are well on your way. Awesome! The throttle servo. A Savox 1210 is a good choice. It is lipo capable and waterproof. Will need to put four washers under the mount tabs. It's a tall servo. Thanks for stopping by 🤘👊

Thanks man. Appreciate the sub! Will check your channel out for sure!!

@@SteelCityRC I got nothing going on brotha gotta make some vids lol

@@crazyphone100 I will watch. Get to making!! Ahahahahah 👊🤘

Hey what's up. This spring will be five years owning the Rampage MT. Mine was listed V3 also. There were no aluminum housings. I am guessing you mean for the differentials. The only way to get those is separately. Even the pro MT model has plastic. Unless they decided to put aluminum in and I didn't know it. If so. Awesome!! So are you considering buying a MT?

Hey thanks man! Great inspiration from your comment! I would have to say the Rovan 45cc is probably the biggest that would fit as originally designed. The 45 Rovan uses the same overall engine size. But the pullstarter is huge. I havr seen guys either heat and bend the chassis or cut it for pullstarter clearance. Which 46cc you have? Guessing a CY gp460? If so. They are huge in comparison to the 32cc. I have one in a Losi 5iveT. It is a 47cc OBR which is a CY g460 modified.

Hey thanks! Yes you can either use four rear baja 24mm hexes for a standard offset or use DGI one inch 24mm hex extenders for a wider stance. I use the DGI ones made for the Rampage MT on their website. Thanks for watching!!

To get more power. I think you would want to get a ported engine from ESP or OBR. Both modify Zenoah engines. I use an ESP ported Zenoah head on a Zenoah g320 lower end. Nice power and reliable.

Sup brother. Thanks man! It is my cruiser

Thanks man. I'd say two years ago maybe more my stock gears failed after putting a stronger engine in it. When they broke I was on throttle so everything got destroyed. Hell it even broke the clutch bell shaft in half. Wallowed out the holes the bearings ride in the gear plate. So I started fresh. All new bearings and shafts. Then belt drive trans. I may let that gear set go if you really need it. But I keep it as back up for both my Redcat gassers for just in case purposes.

Hello. Congrats getting a Rampage MT!!! Very fun truck. The gear plate on the V3 is aluminum stock yes. The older versions were plastic. The belt drive is a Stern CNC V5 I do believe. The ratio is 1.1:1 Thanks for stopping by 👊 🤘

The transmission parts are from Germany. Which appear to be discontinued. The diff housings can be had anywhere. Ebay etc. Thanks for stopping by

Hello. Yes. When I first got it I broke a CV pivot pin. I now use blue loctite on the setscrew and wrap the fabric type tape used on hockey sticks around the outside. The tape on the outside will keep the pins from coming out. I tried glued shrink tubing and that eventually slipped off. Cleaned with brake kleen the tape works best. Have never lost a pin since.

I made a video showing how I do what I explained above. It is a Losi video but the same exact principle is applied ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DHDPpuGOuoY.html

Ya man they are expensive. I am surprised how long they have lasted. They are going on 3 years old now. I wasn't even sure they'd hold up to 5th scale weight when I put them on there. Was a bit of an expensive risk but wow they payed off for this truck. The Olimat pipe. I agree brother. It is awesome. Looks, sounds, and performs very well.

Hello. Is the truck you are looking at used?

Sounds like a grubscrew is loose somewhere in the drivetrain. The grubscrews behind the transmission gears like to loosen up. Also check all the drivecup screws etc. That truck in all honesty needs torn down and reassembled using blue loctite on all the metal to metal screws. That will make it a ton more reliable and get to know the truck better. Good luck🤘👊

Sweet. You will eventually put a different engine in it. So the stock engine really won't make a difference to start with. I have had a lot of fun with this truck over the years. Appreciate you stopping by 👊🤘

Hey what's up and welcome. The Rampage MT is an awesome starter rig that can be awesome. You will know this from nitro. The 2 stroke engine and sheer size of its wheels rattle and vibrate everything loose. Go through it with a bottle of blue loctite in hand. That saves a lot of down time in the field. As far as the belt drive instead of gears. Not sure it is worth it. The shafts the gears/belt pulleys ride on are only 8mm diameter. The belt tension which isn't much adds a side load on the bearings in the gearplate causing drag. The rig doesn't roll as smooth as with gears. So I broke a clutch bell shaft one day. Replaced it and put gears back on. Been a little while now. Seems ok. Another thing is the big MT wheels. Ya they look nice. But man are they heavy and break parts. Good luck with your decision. Hit me up if you need more info. Thanks for stopping by 🤘👊

What's up. The Rampage MT is my favorite RC. The diffs. I have found the helical crown and pinions to be the only ones to hold up. Inside aluminum diff housings and rubber sealed bearings they are pretty stout. Not sure your direction but that setup works very well. Thanks for Watching!! 🤘👊

@@SteelCityRC I will look on Amazon to see if I have it

Blue bird. I put one of their servos in a 8th scale. Was pretty strong but wasn't waterproof. Is the one you used waterproof? I'm always looking for new better servos. Thanks for Watching!

What's up man. So the hex is stripped out of the screws? You mean the 3 big 4mm hex holding the engine to the transmission plate? I use a small butane torch on the screws first then try to crack them free with a tool so the loctite melts allowing the screws to be removed. If you can snap a pair of vice grips on the screw head after heating it should work on those bolts. Other screws that strip I find a Torx bit that is a little bit larger than the hex in the screw. Heat with the butane torch and tap the Torx bit in the stripped hex to remove. Let me know which screws you mean.

Steel City RC thank you yes those and some small ones also. I’m just getting into the RC 1/5 truck stuff so I’m going threw a learning curve. Thanks for the advice.

@@gregforeman5530 no problem at all. I make a point to heat every screw I'm trying to remove that threads into metal before hand. Doesn't have to be molten hot but if you see a little smoke that's about when to stop the heat. It's the loctite melting off. But torx bits work good pounded into the smaller hex screws that are rounded off.

I don't have a parts list. As I built it over the years. I do have a MT service playlist that goes through the progression. Here is a link. ru-vid.com/group/PLedUPAMxk5S7UvDtMX7-7fPV-8TWg5iAl

Sup man. Good deal for $400 IMO. I have a friend with an OBR 34cc reed engine in his. It seems to be doing well so far. I have an ESP race ported Zenoah g320 in mine. Handles roughly 5 or 6 hp that I have well. What make is the engine you have? Not familiar with a 36cc reed case

Hello. I put these wheel hex extenders on they are 24mm which will allow you to use any 5th scale wheel with a 24mm hex as long as they clear the arms and links etc. Here is a link to the extenders www.dgiracing.com/mt-redcat-1-extenders-adaptor-for-hpi-baja-wheels/

The wheels and tires I use varies. Appreciate you stopping by

You can use V3 Rampage MT gear plate etc on your XT. Unless you already upgraded to an aluminum plate

Steel City RC yes I upgraded to the Mt aluminum diff mount v2 I went with gunmetal finish

What's up man. You got a Rampage MT in trade for a camera? Awesome and congrats! The truck is pretty big. But put it next to a Losi 5iveT or MTXL it looks small. A blast to drive though. As far as fuel. I would use ethanol free gas if possible. I actually been using VP four cycle fuel 94 octane ethanol free mixed with Maxima Castor 927 oil. Two years on it. Holds tune better and easier to start for me. But regular pump gas is just fine. Like I said ethanol free pump gas is best. Thanks for stopping by 🤘👊🇺🇲

Hello. The remote killswitch. Here is a link www.killerrc.com/collections/kill-switches/products/super-bee-kill-switch-car-kit

Hello. Stern-CNC off of ebay

Thanks! The gears. I'd have no clue on that one. And would it even work? Going by memory years ago. Stock Rampage MT is 35 35 35 25 correct?

The was a guy on ebay selling the belt system. Stern CNC is the name. Out of Germany. I hear he doesn't make them anymore though

There was a seller on ebay a few years ago who used to sell them. From Germany. Not sure if they are available now though. Heard not. Appreciate you stopping by 👊 🤘

Hello. No I don't have an aluminum inner diff cup for the spider gears. I still use the plastic ones. The key is the Redcat helical crown and pinion with rubber sealed bearings and aluminum diff housings.

@@SteelCityRC i dont know if there even is an aluminium inner diff case. you know about ? here in germany this car is sold under a different brand. but its the same car. im looking for the alu inner diff cases.

@@amberarc6749 agreed. I have never seen aluminum cups. I found them unnecessary.

Hello. I have used all sorts of glued wheels. Currently have Arrma Kraton 8s wheels on it now. Madmax Land Grippers are good too. Duratrax makes decent glued on tires too. But I think the Proline Badlands mx43 work best. Thanks for stopping by 👊 🤘

@@SteelCityRC ok cool thanks for the quick response, I was thinking duratrax are they a direct fit or do I need some kind of adapter?

@@spoolyboi9434 Yes. I used DGI 1 inch wheel hex extenders right from their site. Some of the wheels made for the Xmaxx will fit. But the center holes will need drilled using a 3/4 inch step drill bit. But now if you read closely. There are wheels made to fit the Kraton 8S that will be a direct fit. No drilling.

The hexes for the wheels are dgi 1 inch extenders. But baja rear will fit all four if no extensions are wanted

I'd have to say yes. It has it's little problems. Which it's low initial cost would warrant such. Add a good Zenoah engine. Good electronics servos etc. And it really is a good truck. The mtxl is a cumbersome beast. This Rampage will run circles around it😆. In all honesty. I have both. But I did change to lighter wheels on the Rampage MT. It is my favorite RC so I am kind of biased. Check out some other vids I have of this truck. It is really fun! Thanks for stopping by!! 🤘👊

You nailed it. The two Redcat 5ths I recommend are the Rampage MT and Dunerunner. They are alost identical. The DR has longer more narrow chassis is the difference really. But for the low entry price into 5ths like you said make them great. Upgrade the electronics and it is a good rig. Really appreciate your insight! Thanks for stopping by 👊 🤘

What's up man. Going brushless to gas huh. You need help hit me up NP. Thanks for stopping by 🤘👊

Got her running brother thanks for replying

Hello. There are several choices. Most being a Zenoah based engine. The stock g320 Zenoah is fairly cheap yet a bit powerful. Or you can get an OBR engine that is a ported Zenoah engine cc of your choice. I ran a stock Zenoah g320 for a couple years. The top power wise is the Taylor 35cc. Not sure how long the Rampage MT would handle it's power. Good luck and thanks for stopping by 👊 🤘

Hey what's up. It sounds like you had a grubscrew work itself loose somewhere in the drivetrain. Quite possibly the transmission gear mounting blocks. It is a known problem that your issue sounds very similar to. I would pull the trans gears off to check. Actually take all the screws that thread into metal out and apply blue loctite and reinstall. This will save you down time in the field when you expect to have fun. Good luck finding the issue

@@SteelCityRC great content trying to get my redcat rampage mt upgraded

Hello. Sorry to hear that. I would take a look at the carb to see which model number it is. Then find the factory needle settings are for it. Factory settings should get it running and you tune from there. Very small turning incrimates on those needles is needed when tuning. Also get a good sparkplug. NGK CMR7H is what is needed. Local advance autoparts by me has them. Good luck with it. Thanks for stopping by 👊 🤘

Hey what's up!! I am at work and the truck is at home. Also I use smaller wheels on it too. I can get a tape measure out when I get home. Here is a video showing the sizes of trucks I have.

Hello. Congrats on getting the Rampage MT. The gearing. You can get gears made for the Redcat Dunerunner and use those. It will get you better top speed. But you want torque and speed which is impossible with a stock engine. It just doesn't produce enough power. If you were to put Dunerunner gears on a stock MT it would bog bad off the line but get a faster top speed if and when it finally gets there. To get best of both worlds you need a better engine. But with that said. More power equates to more breakage. Those transmission gears do not hold up to power well. Unfortunately this truck is just not set up to be heavily modified. I have had mine nearly 5 years and recently stripped transmission gears again. It sat all summer being frustrated at it.

@@SteelCityRC I really appreciate the very thought out and detailed response. So how do i know which gears to get from the dunerunner? The stock dunerunner gears? Or is there a specific "upgraded" set for the dunerunner that ill need? Yes ideally I'd love speed and torque but id settle more for torque right now. I do plan on upgrading the engine in the future. You have any new engine recommendations? Im looking to be in the 70-80mph range.

@@thefishindoc2249 the Dunerunner gears are stock. I have used them on the MT with Proline Badlands MX43 got mid 40's in grass. To get 70 to 80. You will need to gear differently than me. I have never seen a MT go that fast in gas form.

@@SteelCityRC haha ok then maybe I’m reaching too far with those expectations. I thought these things run 40-50 stock.

@@SteelCityRC what battery and charger are you using for your MT?

Hello. The Rampage MT is not the strongest basher. But it can be a pretty decent basher with some upgrades. Biggest thing with the MT is screws working loose. Blue loctite helps that. What do you want to do with it if you bought it?

Looking to jump it and bash it. Like the way you beat yours up. It seems to be pretty strong from the couple vids I have seen. Just wanted confirmation because my hobby store said they aren’t very good kits.

@@jerryt1969 well. For basic bashing like I do it is good. Trying to compete with an Xmaxx won't happen lol. I will say it is very fun and needs a better engine, electronics, and ditch the mammoth wheels. The transmission gears aren't the best.

@@davidsoto5534 depends what radio you have. The old ones like mine were total junk. Newer ones are Flysky which some people like. I switched to a Flysky it4s initially. Man I had three runaways in one day with it. Not sure if the spark plug interfered with the receiver or what. So I sold it to a local electric guy. He love it. So then I got a Futaba 4pls radio system. Dude what an awesome upgrade. Middle of the road price with top of the line features. Had it a few years now as my 5th scale radio. Have 6 of them on that radio now. So yes. I'd ditch the stock radio asap

The belt system was actually purchased off ebay years ago from a German seller. From what I have read it is no longer available.

Hello. Are the wheels spinning with it running on the stand? If so. Try to pull the cord with the truck on the ground. If the truck lurches forward. More than likely the clutch spring broke or is very worn out. Waiting for your response

I spoke to the guy I got the car from he said it's a racing clutch is it any difference from a regular clutch because yes it does lurch forward when I pull the string

So funny you say that. That happened to my Dunerunner with the rear mount Jetpro. I rolled it and it stalled instantly. I tried to restart. No go. I was like fuuuck!! The my friend saw the mud in the pipe end lmfao. Fired right up after removal

Yo what's up man. Maybe get another spark plug and give it a try. I use a NGK CMR7H spark plug. Gimme some info I may be able to help

What's up man. Thanks for watching. Here is a link to Simon's website Olimat Engineering. This is the pipe I use. He also has a silenced version. www.olimatengineering.com.au/product-page/redcat-himoto-hsp-mt-non-silenced

Awesome! If you are on Facebook. Put them up for sale on marketplace. Appreciate you stopping by 👊 🤘

@@SteelCityRC I just did✌️🙂 very nice video brother ✌️

@@mundoamericano596 thanks man 🤘👊

I got the belt off of ebay a few years ago. I hear the seller has no more stock of them. The seller is Stern-CNC from Russia. Maybe give him an email.

Yes Sir!! Braaaap

Thanks! Just an auto technician who enjoys RC as a hobby. I also like to share info to fellow RC enthusiasts. I am no camera guy. I do what I do. How I can do it. Thanks for the advice 👊🤘

@@SteelCityRC Thanks for sharing brother. The first video I watched of yours was a couple hours ago. The one "Gasser Bashtime". You got that truck setup nice. I'm buying my buddies rampage tomorrow. So I appreciate you making these videos. Thanks man. They are and will help alot. The truck I used to run years back was the Traxxas T-Max. Big step UP! One question, this Rampage doesn't have reverse does it?

@@RoadWarrior-lo9vt Nice! Congrats! Man grab a bottle of blue loctite and tear that truck down. They are notorious for vibrating metal to metal screws loose. Also I suggest getting a Killer RC Superbee remote killswitch for it asap if if doesn't have it already. I won't drive a 5th scale without it. Very dangerous if it runs off on you full throttle and you have no control lol. Otherwise I think it will have you grinning. I have had mine 5 years. The first year was growing pains big time. It fought me. Screws falling out etc. As far as reverse. No they do not have reverse. Most 5th scale gas powered RC don't have it. Check out my Rampage MT playlists on the main channel page. I have service vids and running vids. Thanks!!

@@SteelCityRC That's awesome. Thanks a million for the tips brother. I'm watching your speed test video now. Needless to say I subscribed. Appreciate you man - ✌😁

Sadly killer BEE didnt function cause of the redcat servo having a meltdown. everything in Rx fails its hooked to. Very common! Set your killer bees to no power off! learned it hard way flick switch option is not always one!

@@BuildBreakFix wooooo! That sucks to hear. The Killer RC Superbee remote kill switch should have shut it off. With no RX power it kills spark. Out or range engine dies. Go below RX voltage engine dies. Turn the radio off engine dies. Very reliable system. You must have had a malfunction? Thanks for stopping by my channel!!!

@@SteelCityRC wow long ago all of a sudden I got a message lol? 10 month delay thanks youtube! Sadly stock RX tx redcat sells with the kit has an issue preventing the killer b from functioning! what happened was the crap factor brake/throttle servo had a meltdown. For what ever reasons the killer B would not kill the motor after remote goes off like normal after the servo had a meltdown it kept the power on the rails on even with remote off! honestly I love killer b fail safes. first time ever had one not work though and people over time told me I am not along on redcat rx when it fails same issue. Neddless to Say! Savox servos now and Futaba electronics lol never had issue since on all 3 I have! Blus the killer B on my 48inch FPV rc lawn mower build lol!

@@BuildBreakFix it is crazy how YT sends notifications. I have never got one ten months later. But have had numerous a month later lol. Ya man. Can't go wrong with Savox and Futaba. I use the same. Hope all is well for ya RC brother!!

Thanks for watching!!

Right. Well there actually is a center diff. But it is locked.

Hello Bill. I will swing on by man. Thanks!!
