The previous thread was removed (not by me) I assume due to the fact that the OP had posted an ebay link.

So far so good on the rims and the Bajer. I've been beating it up for around 4+ tanks now, in bone stock form. No problems whatsoever. We think Redcat changed the formula for the a-arms, since they seem to be much stronger thatn the first run. I don't think anyone has broke one from the upgrade kit either.

Yeah, it was removed because of the link. I wish they would add "at the administrator's discretion" to the policy so the administrator could at least decide whether it should be removed based on the context of the post. It wasn't like I was advertising or anything. Anyway, I got the answer to my question before the thread was taken down anyway, so nobody was hurt too much.

The pics of the blue on-road are actually of my on-road Redcat. I painted it last week and will be testing it this week with the new exhaust and head kit. Suppose to rain almost all week so I will have to see.

Will be adding an X-Can with twin carbon fiber silencers out the back. Kinda for a realistic look.

Just trying to make it look a bit realistic. The silensers as pipes out of the back. Once I get the Viper shell in then I will see which performance pipe will fit under the shell. The Viper sits low and there isnt much room for a good pipe that I know of. [8D]

Nice truck! I remember painting that for ya! I hope the Redcats get real popular too. I like them so far, just waiting for the weather to get better here in Michigan.

No, it is 2WD, and Redcat does not make that Baja one, it is made by HSP. The real name of the Redcat Baja is HSP Bajer (kind of a stupid name, they should have simply left it "baja")

Of course, Redcat does not make the Rampage either, that is made by HSP also, and it is called the HSP Skeleton. Rumors have it that Cenchain (CEN) will also buy the Skeleton and resell that under the name of a 5th scale Genesis (since the Rampage/Skeleton front end looks almost exactly like a scaled up Genesis).

And for the on-road Rampage, that too is made by HSP, but its real name is the HSP Blue Rocket (thus the blue paint job).

Did Redcat keep the original HSP name? I have not yet hit their sales site.

As for the A-arms, the Redcat ones are also made by HSP. Redcat only asks HSP to put on modified A-Arms, but otherwise, the original HSP Bajer arms are 100% intechageable with the ones resold by RedCat.

Zielke... 2 things please...

1) All businesses need to identify themsleves in their signature... a simple 'Zielke racing and RC paint' or something in your sig, would be ideal, thanks.

2) If you're interested, I have made an FG Viper body fit a short wheelbase MCD rally with the TOPSA pipe, which is not a small pipe. I realise the models may not be the same dimensions, but I can take some more pics if it would help. I had to flip the body posts around, etc, and other small mods to get everything to fit under the body, it does sit very low... here's a teaser...

Thanks for the help! I fexed my sig. Haven't been on RCU in a while and just updated everything. I appreciate the help on the pipe. Nice looking MCD.
