as far as durability the rampage has proven to be very durable. i have taken a couple of heinous spills and it didnt skip a beat. i have the Vertigo titanium turnbuckle kit since i heard the stock ones can bend .
i am just gonna play around with things and i am starting to feel not really concerned that i will see hot temps again. that day it got hot was when i was letting my 12yr old nephews drive it and they were making me nervous cuz their driving was not good. it was after they drove when temps were high. i had checked temps a few minutes previous to them when i was driving and temp on the motor was only 100*. so i am thinking that what happend is what aqwut said, that stopping and starting over and over and revving to top speed instantly builds up the most heat and i think thats what they were doing.
i am bidding on a baja currently for my next project. cant wait to convert the 5b. they look like a blast too. i want to build a nice 1/5 collection for myself.

I see and 100F is not even warm. Do you drive until the LVC kicks in?
I'm still waiting for a company that makes CF parts mainly for the military to let me know if they'll be able to do my parts. They told me they can make almost everything out of CF using their process and that got me interested.
