V3 TT or XT

[jcmgroom]

Guys


Please help me make a choice, V3 TT or wait for the XT? Im not new to Rc cars/ trucks, but, new to redcat, I always do my research before I get into anything. You guys have been VERY HELPFUL, Rob , has been awsome.


I don't know much about the XT, is there many improvements? if so, what? is it worth the wait? Is this buggy as heavy as the TT?


Whatever you guy can tell me helps alot, I know one thing for sure, I don't have the funds for both.


Thank you


John

Well it depends on what your looking to do with it. Generally speaking, and this is a very big generalization. The TT is a basher and the XT is more of a racer. Im not saying a TT cant race, nor can an XT be bashed. Im just saying thats more of what they excel at.


The TT is heavier, more sturdy and can withstand some serious abuse when properly setup. It can race, and race well mind you, but the extra weight is a hindrance compared to the XT.


The XT is lighter, more nimble, has swaybars, and just flat out looks better IMO. Hope that helps

Does the V3 TT come already installed with the rampage upgrade kit or should that be purchased ? THX

 

[RampageHopUps]

The V3 is upgraded. I don;t think the upgrade kits are available anymore either.

The upgrade kit was designed for just the V1 Rampages to address some issues they had. The upgrade kit is essentially built into them now since V2.
