I am a new to nitro r/c. I just bought a redcat racing tornado xl. I like it very well for a beginner r/c. I noticed that the wheels have cracked a I was looking for a new set other than the ones on the redcat racing website. If anyone nows let me know. I was also wondering if it is possible to change it two a two speed. Thanks Tyson

You can put any 2.8 rims and tires on your buggy, HOWEVER, you may need to trim the ribs on the inside of the rim so they don't rub the A-arms front edges. The picks below are of a customers buggy that we set up and hoped up for them. It has a set of Proline Dirt works tires on Imex Romulin Rims, with an STS .12 5 port off road race engine sporting a High flow air filter and Racers Edge Torque exhaust. You can change just about anything on the vehicle and yes you can change it over to a 2 speed trans.

My first post
My bro in law and I are looking to get into the Nitro cars.. He's gonna go with a much more expensive and pwoerful one.. while I"m gonna take baby steps and go with the Tornado Xl ( or shockwave). I think it'll be plenty fun/fast enough for what I need.
Basically, what I want to know is what are the weak points on these and what spare parts I need. I've read about some gears stripping, but it was on the BB pro I believe.
Not saying this lil car is gonna break the first time I take it out, but I've been around race cars/trucks all my life and stuff breaks. It's part of the game

WHere abouts it Perry lol.. I am over in central florida. The xl or shockwave is a good starter. They are the single speeds and there are alot less problems. There are some posts about the shockwave above, read through and that will tell you pretty much everything., Welcome to the forums. You will find some good information here and people are willing to help you out when needed.
