Over the years, I have referred most folks in Canada to another Redcat dealer there.  Now that he is no longer in business, I have opened up shipping to Canada

Here's how shipping to Canada works (for now)

• All Rampage vehicles ship via UPS for $49.97 to Canada
• Most small Rampage parts ship for $4.97 to Canada
• Large, heavy, or bulky parts orders ship via UPS for $49.97 to Canada
• *Shipping to Canada does not include taxes, fees or import duties.  Additional fees may be payable to the carrier (UPS, USPS, Canada Post) upon receipt of product

If you put an order of Rampage parts in to your shopping cart and the system only shows you the option for UPS shipping but you don't want to pay the UPS shipping rate, have a look at the items that you are requesting.  If you have large items such as bodies, wheels/tires, chassis, engines, LiPo batteries or chargers - these all have to ship via UPS.  Removing some of these large items from your shopping cart should cause the shipping rate to drop down to only $4.97.  If you only select smaller items such as hinge pins, suspension arms, hardware, bearings etc. these should all be able to ship via USPS

UPS recently raised their rates dramatically so this all may change at some point but I'll do my best to cover most of the UPS cost for you if you purchase a Rampage or other large parts.

This is just a trial and subject to change so be sure to check out the shipping page for the latest information

Here's a link where you can check out the Redcat Kaiju specs

Recently I wrote a post about the importance of investing in high quality tools (see that post here) and I thought I'd expand on it a little to show you one of my favorite RC tools of all time

These little power drivers are usually around $20 on Amazon and come in a few different colors.  I have this red one and I also have a black one that's still in the package.  When you combine this tool with some high quality bits like the MIP Speed Tips, you'll save a lot of time when wrenching on your Rampage.

I like this tool because it's not too powerful.  It doesn't have a clutch but it has just enough power to install and remove screws without stripping the plastic.  I still use a little bit of care when using it to help avoid any problems.  I also like the fact that it has an LED light that turns on automatically when the driver is running to help light up the work area.

If you do decide to pick up one of these tools, I can't stress enough the importance of using only high quality bits like the MIP Speed Tips with a 3.0mm being the most commonly used tip.  This will help ensure you don't strip any screw heads.

'till next time, have fun wrenching

Few things in RC are more frustrating than stripping screws when wrenching.  Did you know that in most cases, the cause of stripped screws isn't the screw itself but the tools you are using to remove the screws?

This is why I HIGHLY recommend you invest in some high quality tools - and the only ones I recommend are MIP.  Yes, MIP tools cost a little more than most others but trust me, you will not regret buying them.  Not only will they save you a lot of frustration over stripped screws but they also last forever and feel really good in your hand.

​If you are on a tight budget, just get yourself an MIP 3.0mm Hex Driver to start with.  Be sure to get the regular hex driver (part 9011), not the ball end driver  This will take care of the majority of screws on the bottom of your chassis.  I also like to use a metal pick to clean out any dirt from the screw head before attempting to remove the screws.

After you've purchased your 3.0mm Hex Driver, the following sizes will also come in handy but are not as critical to have if you can't afford them right away:

• MIP 2.0mm Hex Driver
• MIP 2.5mm Hex Driver

Unfortunately, MIP doesn't make a 4mm or a 5mm Hex Driver so you'll have to find another high quality brand for these sizes (I use Wurth but they are difficult to find).

'till next time
