Status: offline 		hey bro's at least the nights cool off. are low is your high. thank god for a/c that runs non stop. oh well. we look forward to September and a little cooler. on the rampage side. i just installed a set of boost bottles and i see a big difference in the mid range throttle. i know some have said what a waist but i think it works real well. also at top end seems to be more responsive on the throttle. Adding a boost bottle kit to your engine is one of the most cost effective upgrades out there. It is designed to expand your intake area on your engine by storing atomized fuel molecules in its chamber and forcing them into your engine while you are off and on the throttle. This bottle provides a "Boost" or supercharge effect. i have a set on my fg and its awesome set up for 30 bucks. any one else using these ?

Status: online 		your low is our high??? What you don't understand is that when it is 85-90 here, it easily meets what it feels like with 100's in Arizona. Sweat does NOT evaporate off of you, and you are always miserable.

I've lived in arizona, i'd much rather be outside there than here.

Status: offline 		hey darin, i just made my first order for parts for my mt5 and what great service i received from redcat racing. nice to see spare parts in stock. i also want to tell what a great customer support team u have. i had a question on removing the fuel tank on the mt5 and called your tech line and received very helpful tips to make it quick and easy to remove the dogbone. as for the boost bottles they do work great i have run them on my fg and just put them in the rampage mt5. much smoother engine and more hp. some say its a waist of time but they have never tried them. plus they do look pretty cool.

Status: offline 		A friend picked one up and he passed the controls around so we could run it in the sand pit. Is powered by a 30.5 with a DDM tuned pipe. The machine worked far better then I expected. Climbed and handled very well. Made a great first impression and I enjoyed driving it as well. The bad was the shocks all came apart inside-suspect the C clips on the shaft came off. And we broke something inside the rear diff because it became a 3wd shortly into the second tank of fuel. Overall I was impressed!

The machine beside my FG MT.








We should have some video later.

Status: offline 		I have no pics of the body off since the machine is not mine. You can see the pipe just ahead of the rear bumper-shinny chrome and the tip coming out the rhs rear wheel well. Is a HPI Baja DDM with the a 3 inch extension and a rubber coupler.
