I took apart the transmission on my volcano sv and now I'm having trouble puting it back together. I need some pics on how everything goes in place.

If you are looking for 8013t we have steel here;

Be advised that steel will transfer shock to other parts of your drive line if something else goes wrong.(example grit and small stones wedged in wheels causing them to lock up.)

RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread
Hello Everyone, I just received a volcano sv for christmas and I am trying to get it set up for the break in period. Right now I am trying to get the proper gap between the clutch bell and the spur gear. I tried the paper method, but it would not roll freely afterwords. So I am assuming that it is to tight. So my question is: Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to get the proper clearence between them, and how freely should it roll? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

it should roll smoothly. Just loosen up your motor mount screws, pull the motor back, then gently push them togeter. Tighten down a couple screws so it doesnt move and then run the paper through. if it crinkles it is good, as long as the clutchbell and spur gear still feel smooth when they spin. Then tighten down all of your screws, if it's not right the first time either move it back or closer.

depend on what you got sv stock probably does around 30, my upgraded sv with a direct drive, a tuned pipe and a couple of other things does mid to high 30's, the two speed will push 40, and i'm not sure about the pro.

From what I have learned it really depends on how you are using it. Racing or bashing? My VX.18 gets my truck to 34mph with minor upgrades.(Thats what Officer Dave clocked it at) Its got like 20 gears in the tranny. I have the single speed tranny to put in it, Im waiting to break the one in it now. Im also pretty sure it comes down to gearing too.

How can I add reverse to my volcano sv?

Reverse is pretty much just an extra hassle to worry about, and when would you actually REALLY need it

I got a Volcano for Christmas last year and the thing ran great for four months until my wife drove it and broke the pull start off of it. So I just got me one of the electric starter kits for it and put it all together but now the motor will not start. Any suggestions would help.

that could be it too, but did you check your glow plug to make sure that was working sufficiently?
it might also be that you didn't get the electric start together correctly?
