Redcat Rampage XT Offroad Monster Truck vs HSP 94188 Nitro Monster Truck

Buy the Redcat Rampage XT if you want a big 1/5 scale gas monster truck that handles rough ground and open space. Buy the HSP 94188 if you want a smaller 1/10 4WD nitro truck that is easier to store, carry and run in tighter areas. The Redcat wins on size and presence; the HSP wins on 4WD traction, an aluminum chassis and a simpler, lighter package. Owners of big gas trucks accept more upkeep and more room to run them, while 1/10 nitro owners get quicker handling and cheaper fuel for the same hobby.

  • Choose the Redcat Rampage XT if you have the space to run a 1/5 scale truck and want the big-block gas experience.
  • Choose the HSP 94188 if you want a 4WD 1/10 nitro monster truck that is easier to transport and run in smaller areas.

What reviewers say

HSP 94188 Nitro Monster Truck

  • 4.9 / 516 ratings

Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 16 ratings, owners are positive about the truck overall. They treat it as a capable, well-built nitro basher for the money.

What people mention
  • BuildPraisedOwners like the stiff aluminum chassis and the eight oil-filled shocks.
  • TractionPraisedThe 4WD system and large tires get it over rocks and uneven ground.
  • EngineMixedThe VX18 runs well once tuned, but break-in and needle settings take patience.
  • Fuel systemPraisedThe sealed tank with overflow pipe and spring fill cover refuels quickly.

Questions and answers

Which is better for rough off-road terrain?
The Redcat. Its 1/5 scale and higher stance clear rocks and ruts that the HSP's 30mm clearance will scrape. The HSP's 4WD helps in loose dirt, but its smaller size limits it on really rough ground.
Which is easier for a beginner?
The HSP 94188. It is lighter, 4WD and simpler to carry and start, and its aluminum chassis takes knocks well. The Redcat is a bigger commitment in space, fuel and upkeep.
Which lasts longer?
Both are hobby-grade and need regular maintenance. The HSP's aluminum chassis and disc brake hold up well in crashes, while the Redcat's larger parts wear more slowly but cost more to replace.
Is the Redcat worth stepping up to over the HSP?
Only if you have open space and want the big-scale gas experience. If you run in parks, yards or small lots, the HSP's 4WD and lighter weight make it the more usable truck.
Do both need special fuel?
No. The Redcat runs on a pump-gas and oil mix, while the HSP runs on nitro fuel. Nitro fuel is the more expensive and less available of the two.
Which handles better on tight tracks?
The HSP. Its 1/10 size, 4WD and lighter weight turn quicker in tight spaces. The Redcat is built for open ground, not tight courses.
