chimera

I have a Redcat Chimera 30cc that I ran 7or 8 hours of 25:1 last tank ran out, let it cool put 32:1 in and it never started again started with the obvious first, spark, fuel air. Put new plug regaped coil. Cleaned air filter nothing checked factory settings, nothing. Took head off replaced head...

This beast has been an ongoing project but its finally finishing up I think. I took some pics during the build and thought I should share the ups and downs that occurred during the process of trying to build a race worthy Chimera using 7075rc parts for durability.

hello everyone, well running out of flat terrains for the xr. i want to be able to go a tad rough terrain. what do i need to do to convert the XR to a chimera? thanks in advance Carl

Just ordered a Zenoah G320RC for my wip. Just wanted to share my excitement!

Hello all, i am new to the forum and to 5th scale. I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I currently just bought a rampage xt, but love the look of the chimera. What is needed to make the conversion from xt to the chimera. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't know where to post this and did a search but couldn't find the answer. I'm gonna change the front and rear diff oil. How much do I put in the diffs? Thanks

I run copper tube sleeves over them, but still most vulnerable part for me. Frustrating. I know 5th scale is not getting as much attention, but someone please build better upgrades. Given cross compatibility of the part on several Redcats should be able to sell. I like the truck a lot so...

Planning on doing a gearbox and diff rebuild soon. To hand I have some 3K, 4K, and 6K laying around. 3K was recycled from my DBXL shocks :) but unused. I drive mainly on dry golf course grass with a few jumps. I have installed a fairly potent OBR 7.5hp motor. what do you think of 3K in...

[indent[/indent]Hi guys im just wondering if the front shock mount from the rampage will fit my chimera ?

Is the shock tower compatible? I've considered getting the DGI one, but need to check some things out first.

Is 7075rc still in business? I wanted to order a bunch of stuff from them and it's always not available. I sent an email with a list and never got a response!

Ok, has anyone ever used any of the MCD gears? Do they fit? Just curious as they have many different options gearing wise than Redcat seems to. If there was one thing that I wish Redcat had was more gearing combinations.

Hey all, I figured I better start some sort of build log documenting the progress I've made since purchasing this Chimera in July. I purchased my Chimera SR, from a gent that used to sell them and had one stored in his storage shed for a couple years. As things went on I discovered that it...

Question on filtration. What are some good starting places? Prefilter of course, outerwears, of course, but which filter is everyone using?

So, I've decided to take the plunge and go with a full mod 34cc reed case OBR engine to stick into my Chimera. I've been in contact with Sean at OBR and he said that the chassis can stand one of the reed case G340 series engines if the chassis/drivetrain has been hardened. My question to...

Hey all, I am in the process of getting my Chimera drivetrain hardened enough to withstand the abuse of a full mod race engine. I've got the aluminum plate by 7075rc with the carrier. What else should I look at hardening prior to installing the race motor? Better bearings throughout? I am...

Hello all i just got my chimera recently and found it very cramp to work on and wondering if anyone could tell me what parts do i need to convert over to a rampage xt . I am new to this and don't know whats what about this rc line any help would be appreciated.

Ok, first off, this is hands down probably the BEST money a person can spend on your truck, buggy or whatever. The top-end power gain is insane. Next to upgrading to an OBR engine, this is the first step to getting the REALY performance out of your engine. Don't skimp on buying the factory...

Does anyone know if Chimera wheels or XSC wheels fit my rampage MT with no issues? Thanks in advance, Chimera XSC

Does anyone offer an aftermarket rollcage? I have researched and haven't been all that successful. Something more durable and a different color. Thanks for the replies.
