I notice that even with the stock tires, the inside of the rear rim rubs against the lower control arm at full suspension compression. It could only be worse with smaller rims, I would think.

My friends have RC boats and I have a Tornado XP so we spend quite a bit of time with nitro powered toys. The question always comes up, "how fast does it go?" Well, I bought a radar gun so we could find out

My XP's two-speed transmission went south on my first tank of fuel so I'm running in low gear only. Also the tires are completely bald (don't know if that makes a difference). We went out to a vacant road where we could reach maximum RPM. Best run of the day after playing with the tune: 42 mph!

Then the engine started running poorly so we stopped playing with the car and went on to the boats. For the boaters here, we have a Shockwave 36 with a slightly larger prop than standard, and running 30% on its Dynamite .32. We put the trim tabs up as high as we can (it becomes very unstable, but fun!) to get the best speed possible out of it. Best run: 37 mph. There's more in it, but then we busted the flexshaft and lost the prop

Status: offline 		Since I now need to fix the 2-speed transmission to get more speed out of it, what parts do I need? I see there's a 02045 "2 speed drive clutch" ... is that the part that usually breaks? Is it tough to replace inside the transfer case? Or do I need the complete "moderate gear set"?

Status: offline 		or the drive clutch may just need to be adjusted, there are 2 set screws in it one that holds it on the tranny shaft and one that adjusts the shift point, i think u screw that screw (not the one that holds it in place, the other one) all the way in and then back out 2 turns for a good shift poin,t but i dunno, ehroof, do u know how many turns out that screw should be? i was wondering that too.

Status: offline 		I took the transfer case all apart and cleaned & lubed the shifter with WD-40. As far as I can tell it seems to be working, in that the dog pops out and is under a bit of spring tension. Two turns out on the adjuster are too much as the set screw starts to hit the plastic gear. Regardless, I put it all back together and it's still not shifting. I guess I'm going to have to order some parts. And my damn clutch spring has let go again too . Oh well, at least I'm getting really good at tearing this thing apart and putting it back together

Status: offline 		I am at 1 1/2 my dads is almost 3 so you'll have to just do small turns like ehroof said. My first drive clutch was 2 turns so good luck with it very touchy. I think it matters on your settings also lean and rich because you need high enough rmps to get it to shift.

you can put the Volcano tires and wheels on there but you will not be able to keep the buggy body on because at full turn the tires would hit the body. I have pictures of my bb with stx wheels on it let me know if you would like to see them.

Status: offline 		I'd be reluctant to go with bigger wheels because these things are already geared too high, even in low gear. Bigger wheels would only make it less responsive off the line.

Question on the pull starter: when I pull the cord it only grabs for about one engine revolution, then the rest of the pull seems disengaged. Anyone else have this problem? What's the cause?

Status: offline 		your one way bearing is wore out you can either take your pull start off and clean it and see if it grabs then if it dont grab after you clean it than you need a new one way bearing
here is the one way bearing that fits

Status: offline 		Well, I think I'm reaching a decision point on this car. Last weekend we took it out and had a blast climbing and jumping it over the big mound of snow in the middle of our court. Lots of flips and crashes and so on. But despite mostly landing in snow, a lot of things got tore up. I have so much to replace I'm not sure it's worth it any more.

- the rear shockproof mount bent in a whole bunch, busting off the wing mount (I see stronger ones are now available)
- a rear dog bone busted (possibly because of the bad angles introduced from the bent shockproof mount)
- I still need a 2-speed transfer case
- starter needs work
- I can't keep clutch springs in it. I've put three springs in it in the last couple weeks and each one lasts barely a couple minutes. I've tried two different name brand springs too. The LHS guy said the clutch shoes aren't in that bad of shape so I don't know why.

Maybe it's better to buy a used Traxxas or Mugen, something that'll stand up to moderate punishment better than this car.



edit: just went to Top Speed Toys website, and they don't carry spare parts anymore?
