Hating my first gas RC already. Dang motor didn't even make it through break-in cycles.
Took motor apart and found wrist pin needle bearing broke in pieces. :-(

I replaced it with G320. I have bad luck with Rampage. Throttle servo started to glitch during G320 break-in cycles then steering servo started to make noise after break-in cycles.
I sent Redcat an email about my problems. They are sending me replacements, new motor and servos should be here Monday. Great customer service.

Same here.. Not even 4 tanks of fuel and my piston wrist pin bearing failed too. Emailed Redcat so I'll see what they say if they reply. Bearing is out of stock everywhere.... Oh, and the steering servos are NOT waterproof.... lol
