Rob also has them in stock:

Looking forward to seeing how they run in a video. Front tires would probably need to be changed out, but other than that, pretty cool!

+1 Charlie...It DOES look like a Baja!

+2 Charlie, me too thinks it looks like the baja :cool2:

 

[csp1971]

I agree it looks like the Baja! I think USABAJA said not one part is like the Baja, so safe to say it isn't a clone. I would love to see how it would run (aside from the front tires).

Redcat makes some great large scales, at least the Rampage is great due to my own experience.

I wonder if it comes with a CY?

it's a 30cc motor so maybe a fs one so may not be 30cc either, the truck is a lookalike but uses all rampage parts, arms, diffs, gearplate etc i don't think a single hpi part is interchangable.

it would be nice if this is offered as a roller like the 2wd version. if you already have the 2wd you can now get a 4wd conversion kit for it...

Cleaned out some of the crap. it comes with a 25cc motor machined by HSP. It sis a 3rd generation copy of the Zen, CY. I've had one in my 2x4 For 8 months now.

I have the 2wd Dunerunner with a 27cc Chung Yang engine, DDM velocity stack and air filter & Redcat pipe tweeked to fit and I love it. Its tough as nails and fast as hell. Its also a little bit bigger than the 5B. The only thing I didn't like was the switch position on the radio box so I moved it to the right side of the box so its accesible thru the frame.

I think that there will be a 4wd conversion kit you'll be able to purchase if you ever want to go 4wd.

 

[RAMTech-RC]

There is a kit, we are bringing some in.

 

[djbuzzard]

Is it or can it be faster than the 5B with a similar engine? I figure it's all about the gearing but I am only familiar with the 5B's gearing.:helpsmilie:

 

[RAMTech-RC]

Depends what you mean by faster, excelleration or top speed.

 

[in rod we trust]

ive seen a couple go there not that good they break easy..... there is two version of this model short wheel base and long wheel base...also the wheels don,t fit baja....best feature is the wheels only...don,t know what they sell for there in the states....but here in aus about 900- 1300 depends which one you get.....

Last night i bought a 2wd Dune Runner from a local hobby shop, its nothing like the Baja, i think its bigger, its done up very nice, mines just a roller, i need to find linkages and motor mounts.

 

[andys60]

If its a new in box dunerunner it will come with linkages and all the hardware to mount the engine.hone:

Post up some pics.

 

[fastlane]

I think the rat rod body will fit.

Yeah, all of that...:laugh:

I don't want to get creamed by a HPI Baja, if it ain't necessary...


Mine should be here this week...woohoo!
