It seems like the Rampage has a lower stance and designed not only for off road but for track as well, were the FS is a basher off roader. The wheels on the FS give it a higher stance perfect for small creek running or hills. I rarely bottom out.

That gold chassis nitro is a RD Logics Wolverine, it's fun. I put the orginal tires and body on cause this would be the original height specs. It took only a few minutes to put the MCD body and wheels back on.

sounds cool. glad to hear your enjoying your truck after some down time. always turn a negative to a positive.
i'll try a cy 30cc motor when mine dies. the pictures don't do justice, we need video.

Good question about ground clearance, I can set my trucks to higher ground clearance on some of them but then i lose some of the corning ability.
Ea77 I am working on some videos in the future but the way i want to do it is do it right. Like some of my pictures if you go to my Gallery the one with the Cen Fun Factor transmission or Savage with the blue roll cage, click on it to blow the pics up those are high definition pics. I want my videos to be of the same clarity.

Those MCD wheels are awesome,in the FS Truck ad,they state the wheels are 8" and the biggest available,clearly they're not.The original FS wheels look like CEN GST 7.7 wheels with a smaller axle hole,the mold is exactly the same otherwise,oh and the color of course....

The mcd I like cause you can put air in them like a real tire were the FS you can't. But after 33 tanks the FS tires wear well.

Well tell you the truth I do have the Rampage. I dont drive it as much as the other 1/5''s right now, but I will. I have been doing extensive testing on some other trucks and buggy's. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Right now the Rampage is locked away until I test out these other Rc's. I can tell you the King Kong FS is plenty big. Maybe to the point you might have trouble carrying it. It is also no light weight either. It towers over everything else and scares little kids

Hey Adr-ian yup I'm driving those rc's out there all of them 1/5, nitro and electric. Driving in the wild I was thinking there's something to be said about the three. I hear people say they like gas cause hardly any tuning, no glow heater, and gas is cheaper than nitro. Well for me what one is better at ......... the other isn't.
Nitro I like the nitro smoke smell, high RPM's, two speed tranny's and ease of carrying around.
Electric I like the no mess set up and the brushless technology out there. All three nitro, electric and gas have there pluses and minuses. I like gas and I like nitro and I like electic. I dont like one better than the other. There all fun.[8D]
