Need some input on quality of maverick Blackout/ Rampage MT v3

[MrSvahn]

Hi!


I am going to purchase my first LS soon. I am looking at either a HPI Baja 5t with some minor mods or a Rampage mt v3 with a bit more mods. I am worried about the quality of the MT's drivetrain and the diffs especially! Some people say that its fine and some seem to have endless problems with it...


Hpi 5T

• Stock 26cc
  
• Dominator clone with silencer
  
• Kill Switch
  
• Spektrum DX3C DSM 3CH
  
• Outerwears for the pullstart
  Price: around 760$
  

Blackout/MT v3

• Outerwears for pullstart and airfilter
  
• Dominatorpipe
  
• WT-990
  
• HPI-filter
  
• Hitec servo HS 5755MG
  
• Savöx throttleservo
  
• Shocksocks
  
• Aluminium engine and transmission mount
  
• Phatdad
  
• Phatdad V-stack
  Price around 600
  

The pricedifference is no problem since i will be needing a new radio and killswitch if i go for the Rampage.

I have had zero issues with the mt's drivetrain I haven't run with any monsterous motor yet but if I would the drivetrain should hold up great if you put on baja size tires otherwise if u planning on running with the huge mt tires and a big motor might want to look into sleeving the axles and diffs

You also have to consider 2wd and4wd. That amounts to alot!

I have a Dune Runner with the same drive train and suspension. Bigger and heavier with no problems using Baja 5T Trenchers and wheels.
