Status: offline 		ok so today I was doing some tuning to my volcano s30 and found  some parts rattled off.

1hex screw
1bearing
3 different size washers

I have no clue where they could of come from, tried looking at the scamatics and all around the truck,  I am pretty sure it was off the exhaust side

If anyone could help me it would be great!

Status: offline 		The one on the top , the locknut is the tricky one. Once you get it off you can hold the threaded rod and unscrew the bolt from the bottom.
And when you reassemble it dont overtighten the nut, it will bind up the steering.

Status: offline 		 I recently purchased a used Volcano SV from a guy.  I'm a full on n00b at this stuff so I'm going to ask some silly questions!  Nonetheless here's what I got. 

Engine Leaks fluid like crazy.  So I need to do some sealing. Is there a guide to sealing these VX-18 engines? And where else could I be leaking fluid from?   My hoses are all good and so is the tank. It most definitely is coming from the engine.   I did make my own gasket for the exhaust manifold so that fixed a lot of my problem.   

Annnd  when I full out ran this thing into a tree the other day lol I broke one of the teeth off of the Spur Gear.  It looks like this thing had been upgraded to a metal Spur Gear.  I need to replace it.  But it's looking like the only one that I can find is on Redcat's Website. None of the local Hobby R/C places in Indianapolis carry redcat products... Actually I cant even find a redcat dealer within 150 miles.  And there's a considerable price difference between the plastic and metal spur.  Here are my questions regarding this.

Does the plastic one not hold up?     
Is there a third party manufacturer of these? Or a subsitute I could use? 
Or is there any way to just full out change the transmission for lets say a Traxxas tranny? Or something that I have more access to parts to?  

Like I said I'm a newbie at this stuff so please be gentle. I honestly don't know alot about this thing.

Status: offline 		Glow engines are a mess, its just a fact of life.
Check all the bolts on the engine , even the ones under the pull starter.
The gears are cheap enough to have a few on hand , I have not been able to break mine yet but they are not too hard to change if you do.
Metal gears are OK but I dont see that much trouble with the plastic.

Status: offline 		 Possibly the engine is leaking around the glow plug, mine was loose once and it can create a mess. Also check the metal washer for the plug. 
 Mail ordering parts is sometimes the best deal, I stocked up on some items just in case.  Take your time when setting the mesh, the plastic spur gear in my opinion holds up very well.

Status: offline 		When you put your engine back on, the clutch bell will line up with the spur gear. This needs to be set correctly. For instance,  if too tight the spur gear will be shaved bald quickly. It should be easy to push without any grinding sound. There is a video in the Redcat site on how to do this.

Status: offline 		I think the opinion is that they are so inexpensive they cant possibly be any good. I find them a good value.
They are not made to the same standard of craftsmanship as the higher end brands but they also dont cost as much.
I dare anyone to find a better truck for the same price.
