Wow much appreciated... I thank you for making such a great video. I really like the way you take the time to do the close up of the whole truck and all its components. You take the time to explain everything. Basically with this video you answered about 50 questions I had and saved me a bunch of time researching. Pro level production. Send it to Redcat and show them how you promote their product. Thx👏👍👌
You would be well advised to change the radio receiver and transmitter to a SPEKTRUM DX3S. These radios are much more responsive than the radio and receiver that are included in the kit. Ask someone who knows and HAVE A BLAST
+MrGarey1 I replaced the radio system with my trusted Traxxes TQI 4 channel setup on day one. I did not trust the cheap controller system they provided at all.
Thanks for the vid! Answered a few questions I had and thanks for the link and the upclose view. Wanted to make sure new v3 had 2 steering servos, also wanted to see inerts relating to the aluminum upgrades that come stock now. The 32cc is a nice surprise! I'd have to agree with you, for the money looks built well and I dont think pro is worth double the cost for muffler and aluminum A arms, body mount, and roll cage. Grew up with original blackfoot, clodbuster, terra scorcher buggy and it's been long time since I had new rc..3 kids lol... Always wanted nitro but to many turnoffs. Was almost dead set on buying brushless Emaxx which cost $700 + but seeing this thing and doing some research over last week it seems like the way to go for a non basher like me. Please fill me in on the cold weather comment (from Buffalo NY it's cold here). Also any future vids, issues, or prep recommendations would be much appreciated as I am ordering by end of February. Thanks much!
I had to put red thread locker on wheel nuts and set screws on my axels. If not i kept having to tighten them every few minutes. But this is a bad ass truck
I put 2 days worth of work in my rtr before I even installed the lipo packs for the first time. You need to go over bumper to bumper with fine tooth comb before even attempting to start. Unfortunately the rc is only as good as the individual who assembled it. On all my rc's I go over from all the screws to checking the diffs and shocks fluid levels to wiring, ect, ect...
Great stuff! I'll really enjoy the videos you are making! I'm also in to the rc world, mainly in racing boats. I hope winter ends soon so I can go out and race in the water...=))
Mines wasn't water proof, First day Throttler servo got wet, caused me to have a runaway. Thankfully is was in my garage so I caught it. Bought a Killer Rc Super bee kill switch to fix that problem.
I run an electric 20 turn motor on my traxxas 4tec. Iv been looking at these since I own 50 acres of trails and woods rather than roads haha. but I'm wondering if nitro is worth it, I mean they have the right idea, I cut grass alot and weedeaters/weedwackers will run FOREVER if you take care of them.
lol wait till tomorrow my ass! You know you sat there in the dark and freezing weather till 2am in morning breaking that fucker in to play with it for first time! LOL!!!!
+Rich Morgenstein I actually had restraint with this truck surprisingly mainly because I wanted to test it out in an open area to get used to it first.
+Mark Dmitri Never owned a 5T I did lot's of research on them though and I am quite happy with my purchase it has the power, the sound and the ground clearance/ large tires to go over almost anything its exactly what I wanted.
I have had MT for over a year and a half. It's a beast. Never had one problem except a few screws loosen up. It's not a basher you can run it hard but respect the scale/weight ratio. In other words don't jump it 10 feet in air and don't run into anything solid.
+Vincent C I got it in the winter ran it for a bit on the break in settings and break in fuel oil mixture and it was fine just bogged down a bit and died out when hot. I stored it away while I was on tour across America this summer and when I cam back I finished the break in, changed the plug, changed the oil mixture to standard, then I tuned it for the first time. WOW what a difference! This truck is a monster now with the new plug, fuel mixture and especially the tune! I will be posting a video soon of just how fast this truck is now sounds mean too. Best part about it is it never dies anymore and starts on the second pull so as you can imagine it is a pleasure to drive now and I take it out all the time. It's an amazing truck and I am so glad I went with it. I link to the truck in the video description with the best price I have found.
+Vincent C there pretty cool trucks, i have one with baja wheels and tires. once you get those big heavy tires off of it it will rip. had mine for about 3 years now. and love it
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
hi makuloco. I tried to get in contact with you through your one of your Ford videos but haven't been able to reach you so I thought I'd try this route. I have a question about the oil catch can you installed. On the passenger side where you drilled into the "nipple" on the plastic intake pipe...mine has a hose attached to it. I'm guessing the blow off hose, not sure though. can I still put the fitting through there. thank you
+jerryleelewis92 matt kirby i'm guessing it powers the receiver and the servos. they are all electronic, and the gas engine has no way to produce electricity.
+jerryleelewis92 matt kirby They actually make a cap system for these now that gets charged by a small dc motor uses to start the unit via rc remote as well. but that is if you got 340 for it lol!!!
I guess we will see when I get the new 8s xmaxx when it comes out. The MT is much heavier so not much fun to jump then there is the gas engine to deal with.
IMO ....must 1/5th scalers have about 30% less engine than they need to be on par with 1/8 or 1/10 power to weight levels. Watching a 30cc Redcat is like watching paint dry , that BIG truck needs a 40cc PLUS size engine to push 40lbs
I just slapped them on quick for the video. Did you know that the military uses tires with the same tread pattern and run the directional V in different direction side to side?
You can order that same truck from alibaba.com in China for $400!! I called them and she said $400 total and no I don’t have to buy 50 of them to get that price lol just one !! They sell every rc to all these United States dealers for less than half what they sell them to us for lol they have anything you could want!!

FORD TECH MAKULOCO!!!!!
Love your repair videos man!
wow!!! love the orange. I have a stampede. its towered over by that thing. enjoy!
You would be well advised to change the radio receiver and transmitter to a SPEKTRUM DX3S. These radios are much more responsive than the radio and receiver that are included in the kit. Ask someone who knows and HAVE A BLAST
+MrGarey1 I replaced the radio system with my trusted Traxxes TQI 4 channel setup on day one. I did not trust the cheap controller system they provided at all.
R/C Addict Makuloco Glad to hear that. I have changed numerous receivers on all kinds of ORIENTAL products. They are to say the least UNRELIABLE
+MrGarey1 Agreed.
Man I watch the ford tech channel I had no idea you had an rc channel lol.
Thanks for the vid! Answered a few questions I had and thanks for the link and the upclose view.

99lightning99 Oh there will be plenty of videos on this beast!
Enjoy. My dunerunner has been a 4WD beast. Too fun. Soon the MT will be my next new toy.
I had to put red thread locker on wheel nuts and set screws on my axels. If not i kept having to tighten them every few minutes. But this is a bad ass truck
Lol I'm seeing in the comment that the tires are backwards.. Lol is that true... Kidding keep up the good work!
That is a beast mate!!
Hi Brian! Clearly that pry tool is your absolute favorite tool. I see it has now migrated from your Ford Tech site to your R/C site :-)
Absolute favorite indeed when I go down to AZ to fix my sisters truck that is the one tool I am definitely bringing
I got the same one for Christmas
I just got mine this Christmas
I put 2 days worth of work in my rtr before I even installed the lipo packs for the first time. You need to go over bumper to bumper with fine tooth comb before even attempting to start. Unfortunately the rc is only as good as the individual who assembled it. On all my rc's I go over from all the screws to checking the diffs and shocks fluid levels to wiring, ect, ect...
Really like this truck can't go wrong with the price just get upgraded parts it's worth it 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Great stuff! I'll really enjoy the videos you are making! I'm also in to the rc world, mainly in racing boats. I hope winter ends soon so I can go out and race in the water...=))
Yeah I want to get back out on the water too I have a new FT012 coming to hold me over then in summer I might get a better aqua craft boat
You should go over what you replaced to get it to be a fun truck to own!
I know that the servos are junk!
I have replaced a few pull starts and a bell crank steering mechanism that's about it
You put the wheels on wrong tyre direction mate!
Just slapped em on for the video if you watch the running videos they are all on right.
R/C Addict Makuloco ... I was hasty mate! I noticed the comments after! Do you think the truck is worth its price bud?
Mines wasn't water proof, First day Throttler servo got wet, caused me to have a runaway. Thankfully is was in my garage so I caught it. Bought a Killer Rc Super bee kill switch to fix that problem.
Yeah I put one of those on first day.
I run an electric 20 turn motor on my traxxas 4tec. Iv been looking at these since I own 50 acres of trails and woods rather than roads haha. but I'm wondering if nitro is worth it, I mean they have the right idea, I cut grass alot and weedeaters/weedwackers will run FOREVER if you take care of them.

Derek Dwelly Broken plastic parts mainly.
Hi dude

Thanks for your help

+Mark Dmitri Never owned a 5T I did lot's of research on them though and I am quite happy with my purchase it has the power, the sound and the ground clearance/ large tires to go over almost anything its exactly what I wanted.
awesome, thanks man = )

dude this is awesome is big monster truck is 100% gas unleaded gasoline wiht oil where you buy this beautiful toy. how much is this.. you recommend.
I would buy it again this is where I got mine- amzn.to/2pJvJd9
I just came across this video, So the 1/5 scale Rampage is the same as the 1/5 Maverick Blackout MT.
Its similar not exactly the same!
Today they go for 869.00 from RedCat
what software did you use to make the title
Even better that you're into R/C
hi makuloco. I tried to get in contact with you through your one of your Ford videos but haven't been able to reach you so I thought I'd try this route. I have a question about the oil catch can you installed. On the passenger side where you drilled into the "nipple" on the plastic intake pipe...mine has a hose attached to it. I'm guessing the blow off hose, not sure though. can I still put the fitting through there. thank you
You want to drill into the air intake tube it self around that same area.
ok. thank you much. love the videos by the way Ford and r/c. I'm an addict myself
Im doing a unboxing of one of these next week not so much talking just box opening. Come watch
I have one and the throttle servo sucks I had to buy a new one
THE BLONDE WOLF That is what I keep hearing yes.
i have just one question, does it have a reverse gear? i
+humble rc No it does not which most do not nowadays but if you are running a 1/5th scale then you should be in a huge open area anyway.
+R/C Addict Makuloco cool, thanks. there are a bunch of mts im looking at. i'm not sure i want to get into gas, but this thing looks really cool!
+R/C Addict Makuloco what does the battery go to
+jerryleelewis92 matt kirby i'm guessing it powers the receiver and the servos. they are all electronic, and the gas engine has no way to produce electricity.
+jerryleelewis92 matt kirby They actually make a cap system for these now that gets charged by a small dc motor uses to start the unit via rc remote as well. but that is if you got 340 for it lol!!!
between an xmaxx and rampage mt which one is better overall?
I guess we will see when I get the new 8s xmaxx when it comes out. The MT is much heavier so not much fun to jump then there is the gas engine to deal with.
Hey I wanted to ask were did u get the kit from
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LKXUAJM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00LKXUAJM&linkCode=as2&tag=fordt-20&linkId=JCFAN4NBEDC3LKJT
IMO ....must 1/5th scalers have about 30% less engine than they need to be on par with 1/8 or 1/10 power to weight levels.
Watching a 30cc Redcat is like watching paint dry , that BIG truck needs a 40cc PLUS size engine to push 40lbs
you are will it come in ford
Your tires are backwards.. pointing to the front not rear.
The wheels are on wrong 😂
hope it works
had one and it was junk
So far it's awesome but the cold does a number on it.
The V1 and V2 were junk the newest V3 is awsome they fixed all the problems the first versions had but the redcat servos are still junk
Tires are backwards?
reweydewy Yes I just started grabbing tires and putting them on so we could get an actual size comparison
nice truck, I think your treads are backwards :O
Uber_Noob Yep as others have said I was just popping them on to show the size of them.
Your putting the wheels on backward
Hay I have a 32 cc truck I want it to be summer because the cold gets a beating on it anyway I like the video
You have the tires on BACKWARDS.
Roger Baker Yes I literally just placed them on for size comparison, as you can see in all my running videos they are on correct.
OK cool. I just bought the HPI Savage Octane I hope it's a good truck.
You mounted all the wheels the Wrong way!! 😒
are you Makuloco ford
If your Losi is a nitro then it will have a “GLOW PLUG”, LoL 😂 not a spark plug..
32 cc
Tires are facing the wrong way
my pet peeve THE WHEELS R BACKWARDS!!! sorry just had to let that out
I have 2
I got a 125cc took it off of a chainsaw
If u put tires the wrong way on car u better drive a bicycle
I just slapped them on quick for the video. Did you know that the military uses tires with the same tread pattern and run the directional V in different direction side to side?
Need car
You need to put the tread on the right side dummy
You can order that same truck from alibaba.com in China for $400!! I called them and she said $400 total and no I don’t have to buy 50 of them to get that price lol just one !! They sell every rc to all these United States dealers for less than half what they sell them to us for lol they have anything you could want!!
A car this size without a working reverse is a fail. My 170$ nitro buggy could probably outrun this and is a value for money.
32cc. Not.it is a 27....cheap china
All redcat products are JUNK!!!!!!!!
