Thanks for the replies. So I stopped my my lhs today to do some more looking. And sitting on the display was a redcat rampage xb 5th scale gas buggy. I must admit, the thing looked amazing. I have always wanted a gas rig, just havent pulled the trigger on one. The only experience I have with redcat is my nephews Caldera. And that thing is total crap imo. Never get more than 10 minutes out of it before something breaks with some light bashing. And when I say light bashing, I mean it, I have never broken anything of my v2 x-maxx, and my 11 year old daughter has only broken a few things on her v1 x-maxx. With that said.....I am seriously considering picking this up. I know its totally different than what I was looking for. But it is intriguing. I looked it over for quite a while and it seems well built. Lots of aluminum parts, good hardware. I think with a nice tx this would be a fun car. But the fact that its a redcat does worry me. Does anyone have any experience with redcats "high end" stuff.
