RE: Rampage XB 4 Tank review
the bearing issue is a bit unsettling.
the rest sounds about right.
in the large scale forum there is alot of thread on the redcat 1/5's
most of the guys that post there have lots of $$$ to drop on rc, yet many of them get a redcat 1/5 and then upgrade the weak points....IE the radio/servo/shocks.
I had a king motor baja, and faired worse than you have. Had a tire shred on the 4th tank. a wheel break on the 6th. a upper shock mount kept coming loose (till i used epoxy on it!) I had to tighten screws all over the place after every 2 tanks (nothing had thread lock from what i could tell) and the dang kill switch would stick really bad every time i used it.
Still, it was a fun buggy. And the sound of these things is unreal!
