[@rccustom6726]

That MT runs great man 👍🏽 I would try putting the gearing from Rampage Dunerunner V3 since the gearing are a bit bigger on tooth count it will give it less stress on the gears and also gives it more speed too. I did the same thing on my MT V3 after shredding the stock gearing twice and replace them with the Dunerunner gear ⚙️ and solve that problem brotha 👍🏽🤜🏼

[@SteelCityRC]

What's up Alex! Thanks brother. That Zenoah pushes this truck well. The gears. They are DR gears. I used the gears off of the DR I have. I am just really hard on this truck. Probably put the belt back on and deal with the drag that I notice from it.

I give you all the respect bro to keep taking it to that machine even when you fix it up.

But gitta still keep goin. Great vid bro....

[@SteelCityRC]

@@soundwave_9568 almost sounds like you have an air leak somewhere. The carb insulator block likes to crack over time. The two gaskets go bad there too or I have seen loose bolts on the carb. When you get a leak like that it runs way lean with a high idle and becomes untunable. If ran like that for long engine damage will occur. If that wasn't the case. Maybe try a new carb and insulator block with gaskets.

Ya man. Didn't last long hey. I had a clutch bell shaft break with the belt. Didn't have another bell but did have a complete Dunerunner setup. So I put those on till I got a new bell. The gears lasted all summer I thought maybe they were ok lol. So now I will put the belt back on.

I love the Rampage but a agree the gears suck. After a couple times of replacement, I bought a Raminator. The thing is a monster and recently did the 80cc engine upgrade. Man it’s a beast.

[@SteelCityRC]

Hello. I have given the Rampage MT many chances. I even reduced it's chance of breakage using smaller and lighter wheels. It definitely helps. But lost the true MT look that originally drew me to it. At that time the Losi mtxl was not out. Within the year Losi put out their mtxl and by the next year word was out the dragster company was making a big MT. Boy was the wait worth it. Primal nailed that truck. So cool. I have yet to own one. I think basically due to their size. So you put a 80cc in there. Wow! What manufacturer of engine you got? Love to see it.

My xt smells like a chainsaw what can I do about that as in what oil should I run so it stops stinking out my shop thanks Gman

[@SteelCityRC]

To get rid of the gas smell. Start using VP fuel. Their 4cycle fuel is 94 octane and no ethanol. I mix that 28:1 with Maxima Castor 927 2 stroke oil. I can spill that fuel accidentally in the basement and have no odor hardly from it. You will love the VP fuel in there. Has a long shelf life too. So no need to drain the tank of your rig. Just shake it up and go.

This MT is slightly longer than the Xmaxx. It obviously weighs more. About 10 pounds. The axles and diffs are bigger etc. But height. The Xmaxx got it. At least how I have my body set up on the MT. The Redcat electric you are talking about. The R5? I hear good and bad about it. Mainly. People out of the box go bash it. Redcat is a no go doing that. It needs torn down and loctite applied. Most of the R5 issues were just that. Screws and grubscrews working loose causing problems. They never did re-release another brushless 5th scale. In fact deleted many. No more XB-E XT-E or XR-E. Dunerunner is gone.. Think they sell three 5ths now. Kinda sad really. Hope it has to do with the pandemic and will subside. Thanks for the great comment!!

Where could I get wheel setup for my MT ? Love the monsters but wanna try smaller setup

[@SteelCityRC]

Hey what's up man. The wheels are Proline MX43 Badlands made for the Traxxas Xmaxx. The wheel center hole needs drilled with a step drill bit to 18mm so they fit 5th scale wheel hexes. You will also need new wheel hexes to change stock MT from 23mm to 5th scale standard 24mm. You can either use four rear Rovan baja wheel hexes for a standard offset. Or you can get DGI 1 inch extenders like I did. The extenders give the truck more stability and I have yet to find a 24mm hex wheel that didn't work on the MT. I would suggest getting the DGI extenders personally. Look on their website. They have a listing for Rampage MT. They have up to a 3 inch extension I do believe. It looks ridiculous IMO

[@jnitram8321]

@@jnitram8321 exactly! That is why I quit using the stock wheels. They are the heavy. They are heavier than the bigger Losi MTXL wheels. The Badlands are much lighter and still tall enough to keep a bit of the monster truck look. As far as tracks on a MT I have never seen it.
