Thanks for such brilliant information in all your videos regarding this truck I am in the process of buying the recommended upgrades at the moment apart from the engine that will come later. Your input is absolutely spot on so other people know exactly what needs to be done to make it reliable.

Hey what's up man! Thanks! I do try to get some decent info on this truck out there. When you step back and look at it after it is all done. It is a great feeling. I almost hated this truck 5 years ago. I like many others didn't know any better. I opened the box. Fueled it up and went. Well this truck will not do that for long. Heck I lost a CV axle pin in my back yard within 10 minutes driving it. Hope to see you post some vids on your channel of it. Appreciate you stopping by 👊 🤘

@cacinturner9287 3 года назад

Great Video, I just got my Rampage MT bout a month ago new_.. I've bought and installed the air filter, changed the tires to the HPI baja rim and tire, Installed gas vent valve. Is there any thing you would suggest to make the Rampage MT faster. I've seen the 2 speed transmission for the Rampage MT but can't find one to purchase. I've seen the supercharger for the Rampage MT motor. But the redcat rampage forum talk says the supercharger won't work. What would you do... thanks

@SteelCityRC 3 года назад

Hello. Great purchase man! If you haven't already. Get a remote killswitch for that truck first. Killer RC make one they call the Superbee. Excellent product to save your truck from a runaway. To answer your question. To get more top speed. You will need a higher gear ratio. Look into Redcat Dunerunner gears for the transmission. Also I have seen a 2 speed on ebay. Appreciate you stopping by 👊 🤘

@Blimpus 2 года назад

Awesome truck!, Do you know if you can put the Primal RC monster wheels and tires on this truck?

Hey thanks!! I think with DGI 1 inch wheel extended hexes the Primal MT wheels will fit. I use those hexes and have yet to find a 24mm hex wheel that didn't fit. I had the Losi MTXL wheels on it before. Really looks scale with those on there. Just so hard on the drivetrain.

@FHOHNIC 3 года назад

WOW good video I'm brand new to your channel and definitely brand new to RC cars or trucks, however I'm interested in getting one to add to my new drone hobby, might as well grab one of these as wells. My question how much would you charge to build mines out or build me one like your saying with all the extras? If I'm going to get one i might as well have one of the best.

@SteelCityRC 3 года назад

Hey what's up man! The Rampage MT is a fun truck. But I wouldn't really recommend it as a new guy to 5th scales. I think the Losi 5iveT 2.0 would be better for you. It comes with a good stout engine stock. And the truck itself is the King of 5th scales. So many upgrades for it. The Rampage MT has it's place. But will not be nearly as reliable to you. I wouldn't have time to build anything for you at this time. I have a full time job and cars of my own unfinished lol. Sorry I am no help there. But for real look into the Losi and steer clear of Redcat for now. I am an auto tech and almost threw the Rampage MT in the river before. It is frustrating sometimes.

Hey my friend... I like the MT tires that came with it, but they seem bouncy to me... and the suspension doesn't get a chance to absorb bumbs... the tires don't seem to be vented and they don't compress the air out easily... is this what is causing the bouncing stiff suspension experience? Or are the shocks too stiff? So what about venting the tires? What about even removing foam insert? Thank you!

@SteelCityRC 2 года назад

Hello. It almost sounds like your wheels are out of balance. Also maybe service the shocks? I use Losi 50w shock oil in all four shocks. Hope it helps

@SteelCityRC 2 месяца назад

If you have the plastic cap. Take the rubber nipple thing out of the cap keep the hard plastic piece and the rubber bubble seal. Then drill a bigger hole and thread a brake bleeder valve from a 1:1 truck. Get a one way dirtbike tank valve and hose. Clamp that hose and valve to the nipple. That solved hard starts after use under a half tank. No more suctioned in plastic tank etc. Those valves will need replaced frequently though. If it doesn't rattle when you shake it.

I noticed you installed aluminum hub carriers in the front. I am installing mine bother outer and inner hub and I am having issues. For one, the stock screws holding them together are 1/4" too long. When screwed in they hit the drive cup. I had to put a spacer between the screw head and the aluminum hub. The second issue, there is a 1/16" space between the two parts where they pivot. Now I am stuck getting super thin washers to shim the space. If I tighten the upper and lower screws without the spacers the inner hub carrier binds. I sent pics to Redcat. We'll see what they say...

@SteelCityRC 3 года назад

Hello. Yes I used aluminum hubs. To use the stock screws cut a few mm off the ends to make them shorter. Then load the screws with loctite. Otherwise they will work loose. Because you can't nail the screws down the steering will bind. I leave the steering links off till I tighten those screws properly and wait for the loctite to cure. That way you can test the knuckle how it steers without steering hindrance. Hope that helps

@gdl357g 3 года назад

Thank you for the great tips! I will use RED loktite to make sure they don't work loose. So you did not shim the space between the parts?👍✔

Where can I learn more about my redcat dunerunner 1/5scale

@SteelCityRC Год назад

What is up! The Dunerunner is very much like the Rampage MT. Everything I learned from the MT problem wise. I applied to the Dunerunner. I have a Dunerunner playlist. I will link it in the comment below. Thanks for watching 👊🤘

Hola amigo me podrías decir que cilindrada de motor utilizas y que bugias le pones

@SteelCityRC 2 месяца назад

Utilizo un motor Zenoah g320. Puede usarlo en forma estándar. O consiga un motor adaptado para obtener más potencia. La pipa es Olimat fabricada en Australia.

@mickg1637 2 года назад

looks the part mate, I have 2 himoto mt's (same as redcat) one I converted to electric and it's a weapon, the other I need a good motor for. Can you provide me with a link for the pipe? I'm in Australia so it's good to buy local. Thanks mate.

@SteelCityRC 2 года назад

Hey what's up! Funny I have two Rampage MT. One is brushless also. Check it out on my channel. The pipe. I love it. I ordered it from Olimat in Australia. So that will be a good thing for you locally. Here is a link to the one I used. Thanks for stopping by 👊 🤘 www.olimatengineering.com.au/product-page/redcat-himoto-hsp-mt-non-silenced

@mickg1637 2 года назад

@@SteelCityRC Thanks for the speedy reply, did you use a conversion kit for your brushless? I made a plate for the motor and used parts from a crashed one I picked up to couple the motor to a 2nd way gear shaft then put the standard square drive gear gear on the end so all in all its just a brushless motor where the old 2 stroke was, I put the batteries where the fuel tank was. I used an 800kv 5692 brushless motor I got off ebay but I think it needs a 56112 cause it gets a bit hot.

@SteelCityRC 2 года назад

@@mickg1637 I brought it as a roller. At one time a guy here in USA made a conversion kit. I have the setup from that kit in mine. I put an older Castle 780kv 2028 motor paired with a Hobbywing max5 ESC. Runs very well.

@@Paytenmenard1986 I recommend getting one of these measuring cups. It makes getting the mix ratio correct easy. Just pour 2 stroke oil into the cup to the 25:1 line on the cup for how many gallons you are mixing. I generally mix one gallon at a time. Also try to find a gas station who sells ethanol free gas.

@SteelCityRC 3 месяца назад

What is up! Yeah man the belt drive system is nice. The shafts are too small in diameter for the drag of the belt tension though. Still better than the powder steel gears Redcat gives you. I have a newer video installing some Maverick gears that seem more stout. Check it out.
