Update: After not running the Rampage for a long while I ended up selling it, here are a few notes.
1. Don't run a 4600kv brushless system in it, it's waaaayy overkill. Heck I wouldn't run anything quicker than a 20t motor, it'll just roll over anytime that you turn.
2. The Rampage is fun on...
I wouldn't doubt that, they've been bought and sold a couple of times so we're fortunate to still have them around.

In "Spec Rampage" it wouldn't matter which electronics you use, a gyro might help, but it...
As far as I know there aren't any out there. I run mine with a 4000kv brushless system with no problems so far. The catch is that the brakes/reverse are set to be gradual, so you can't throw it into reverse immediately.
I wasn't sure if this should be in "short course truck" or "crawler" board, the Rampage technically neither, despite being sold as a "crawler".
The Rampage is almost in line with earlier attempts at "trophy trucks", like the Thundertech Pro2. The Rampage Pro has a live rear axle, rear trailing...
