A kill switch is a must before running your truck. Sometimes your electronic may fail, or the throttle servo stays stuck wide open resulting in a runaway truck that can hit something or worse someone resulting in costly repairs and or hospital bills. It will allow you to remotely cut off the engine or will cut off the engine on its own and apply brake (if setup that way) when there is a glitch or lack of communication between your radio and truck.
The one I use is the KillerRC kill switch.
Another upgrade (highly recommended if you ask me) is to get an aluminum transmission plate. Check @Ol' fart 7075rc website for aluminum parts for the redcat X series vehicle (XB, XT, Chimera, XR)
While you wait, get acquainted with how to tune a 1/5 scale RC engine (2 stroke).
What tuning is needed? I've had 10+ Nitro trucks in the past and HATED TUNING those carbs... always was a PITA for me.. I purposely bought "GAS" this time around as I was told carb tuning isnt needed.. Whats your input on it?
Hi, I just got my rampage xt about 2 month ago now. Didn't know much about them either. Definitely want the killer rc kill switch, and jetpro pipe. First things I ordered and put on before I even started it. Lots of good parts at DDM online.
any chance you can link me to the pipe you are recommending me and the kill switch... ill buy them now, thank youHi, I just got my rampage xt about 2 month ago now.

If you get the gear plate from Redcat get the one for the MT it has larger bearings the 7075 plate is the best, it has the larger bearings and a extra bearing on the back side.awesome thanks!
