scatteh316 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Redcat Rampage HSP SHeleton Himoto Megap And there's others that use the same chassis...... If you look in aliexpress for the HSP you'll find all the alloy parts for it. Edited April 26, 2016 by scatteh316 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're popular in their respective regions which is why most people probably haven't even heard of the HSP and Himoto versions as they were released in Asia, I'm sure CEN licensed the design too. The Redcat Rampage is perhaps the most well known vendor as it's the sole distributor in the states so parts are plentiful over there, speaking of parts..... DDM have all the Redcat Rampage alloy parts in stock: http://www.davesmotors.com/Products/Redcat-Rampage-Stock-Parts/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really appreciate your help fella Thanks again Shipping time is much much faster then Aliexpress, in regards to taxes and stuff it's luck of the draw. I've never been stung with a customs fee but my friends have for the odd item..... But you can get stung on an Aliexpress order too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 There was an all alloy version of the Rampage at one point .... so there should be plenty of upgrade options. If you jump your Blackout...you stand a chance of bending the chassis. Hebby turned his into a banana with no alloy upgrades at all. It's a big heavy truck to start with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangarilla Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'd be happy to run it for 10 mins without something breaking, let alone jumping it and bending the chassis. Build quality seems a little different than a baja or a five tbh, just looking at trying to give it a bit more strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
