Interesting car, the Rampage, you don't see many of the around now. It's basically a 2WD version of the GP10 chassis from the RS200 - the whole back end is the same (including those nasty little belts). The front end is similar in design to an Ultima, but they used a unique front bulkhead and a slightly modified version of the Optima front arms (there is an extra shock mounting hole in them). I think if you ever get stuck for parts you might be able to swap it over to a complete Ultima front end.

One Rampage manual

For an alternative body have a look at Marwans repro Turbo Ultima shell

For tyres any 2 inch tyres will do, but they can be hard to find. If you want the original Kyosho tyres expect to pay a lot for them.
