Red Ramps
Amazon, but it doesn't look like they are sold on there any more.
Fly Wheels Ramp with Launcher
THE MOST ASKED QUESTION ON THE CHANNEL - "Where do you get the ramps from?
They were purchased from Toys R Us over 8 years ago. They are Ten Eighty Skate Ramps, the Kryptonics Edition. Came with the two ramps and a table top. I don't think you will be able to find it new but it may be available on the secondary markets.

That is one planted Raptor R Ultimate. You did WOW!!!!!!!!!!! amazing job on this build, from watching your rally shoot out I think it performed like the WR8 as far as staying planted in the turns, the lean it as especially on tarmac and not once did it roll over. You know someone is going to watch your build video and duplicate it. Awesome build ReadySet. Take care and best wishes to you and the family.💥💥💥💥💯💯💯💯💯👍👍

[@ReadySetRC]

@sparetimerc Thanks Al and best wishes to you and your family as well. This is been a fun build and one I got to say I'm truly enjoying. Tweaking a few things but I think it's almost there.

[@Killa_b_rc]

I love this bro!

[@ReadySetRC]

@Killa_b_rc Thanks man! It's not perfect but I'm tweaking a couple things and I'm almost there. How you liking your rally?

[@Killa_b_rc]

@@ReadySetRC that rally handles so good! I’m going to get the center diff soon. I heard that makes it even better

[@ReadySetRC]

@@Killa_b_rc It's so smooth with the center diff. I run that in my rally(the previous one).

[@kyle24011]

I really hope they release an LCG conversion kit for this

[@ReadySetRC]

@kyle24011 Don't get me started where I'd like to see Traxxas take this🤔

[@kyle24011]

@@ReadySetRC I still feel they won't cause it would be too close to their piece of crap X01 that they should have discontinued or completely redone

[@jedi161]

My truck rolls over on pavement 😢

[@ReadySetRC]

@jedi161 Mine is far from stock. 4s system, GTR shocks, Proline tires, faster servo and sway bars. This started as a slider.

[@jedi161]

I mounted GTR shocks today with blue stripe xx springs from Traxxas. Ordered sway bars. Any recommendations for shock placements and tension?

[@UDRC85]

That truck rips bro. I might have to put that on the list.

[@ReadySetRC]

@UDRC85 Yessir!

[@CoachD386]

Yessssir, moving real good 💪🏾💯

[@ReadySetRC]

@CoachDRC Thanks Coach🤜🤛💯

[@rcjoe406]

Ripper potato chipper awesome 👌

[@ReadySetRC]

@rcjoe406 Thanks man! Always testing and tuning but I like how this turned out.

[@tayzer22]

I bought mine about 3 weeks ago and it's a beast.

[@ReadySetRC]

@tayzer22 Right!
