Status: offline 		I got a tsunami ultrawide for Christmas and during break-in the brake was set way to high and we burned up the clutch bell, what do we have to replace. The car won't go very fast and the acceleration is decreased. The clutch bell is a blue color.

Status: offline 		I had an os .18 cv-rx in my volcano sv pro but neither I or the LHS could get it to run so Ill have to send it back for warranty repair. I installed the team infinty .18 after a good cleaning with some carb and choke cleaner and it fired right up and runs awesome. How can I adjust the throttle arm to not totally kill the engine when I put it in reverse/brakes? Also sometimes after running for a few minutes the throttle dies to to about 15% and after I pick it up and juice the throttle a couple of times it picks back up like normal until I run it out of fuel. This seems to happen whenever I am down to about an 1/8 of a tank. I have venom temp gauge/fail safe and the temp reads about 250 to 280 but after I stop the engine the temp drops 20 - 30 degrees in about 20 seconds. What is an acceptable temp range to run it in. It still has a fair amount of smoke when running it hard so I think I can still lean it up a smidgen more. Thanks for any helpful tips.

Status: offline 		I just answered my own question about the throttle cut back because of the failsafe, duh...should have looked it up before I asked. But what about the reverse/brake thing?

Status: offline 		you need to turn the idle screw clockwise to keep the carb open when you hit the brake, 250 is a good running temp when you running it pretty hard, no more than 280.

Status: offline 		I replaced my front left dogbone because it disapearred and since that happend it seems that when I juice it sometimes the front wheels take off like a bat out of hell but the rears don't have near as much power. Is there anything I can do to limit the temp to 270, maybe make it more rich at the sacrifice of power. It gets frustrating having the fail safe cut it back all the time.

Status: online 		ok so hopefully im going to pick my spur gears up from redcat tomorrow and i need help on meshing them. i know how to do it any everything, i did that last time and i still stripped it. i put notebook paper in and pushed it up against it, when i ran it it kinda almost binded, so is that too tight. Should i be pushing it together or just letting it be snug or what? how hard should i push it together? any other advice on meshing would be greatly appreciated.

Status: offline 		there should be a little play between the clutch bell and the spur gears, just a bit of play. you sould be able to roll the car without any binding.
