Already reset the low voltage cut off, sometimes its real herky jerky

My rear dogbones on my old Himoto Eldorada/Volcano bottom out in the cups before my suspension does. So it seems like my dogbones are to long. They measure about 90mm in length.

Any shorter dogbones available?
Are the newer Volcano dogbones longer than older Himoto's?

Also I know about the fuel tubing trick and that is not the problem.

Thanks

Status: offline 		Hello  all,
I just got a volcano pro for xmas. I am about to read the forum. I have some 2 cell lipos on the way. I hear this thing will really kick it with better batteries. I already hooked up lights to it to ride at night but last night i only came back with 3 wheels ...lol i found the other with a flash light. But not the nut. Where is the best place to order spares??

Status: offline 		You would most likely need to get a set of stub axles that would match the Volcano SV/S30s along with a set of new wheel hexes and the proper size pin to go through the axle. Perhaps try something from HPI. I know I was able to use HPI stub axles on my Electric Volcano a few years back however I don't recall the part number.

Tornado S30 axle stubs will fit and give you the ability to use axle pins.  14mm Hex's will fit even though the axles were designed for 12mm.  The 14mm hex will fit over the pin and be secure but the 14mm hex will have a larger diameter hole for the axle.  This is not the correct way but I've done it and it's not been a problem.  I'm sure you can find the right size axle that will have the right diameter axle if you research enough but the Tornado axles are really cheap and will work just fine.  Acutually I just put Losi hex's which are like a oddball size between 12mm and 14mm on my sons Caldera 10E and even though the Caldera axle is smaller than the hole in the hex, when you tighten the wheel against it which keeps the hex against the pin it works out just fine.

I've tried the glue thing myself.  It'll probably let you limp around if your not jumping and taking it easy until your new parts get in.  I had that problem with the front steering knuckles on my son's Caldera 10E when they kept stripping out.  1st glue attempt lasted a few days, then after the first glue fail it was lasting a few minutes.  I put the aluminum knuckles on last Oct, no problems since.  The Sumo's are pretty cool.  I have two of them for the kids.  One of them stripped the rear diff within 3-4 days, actually didn't strip it but chipped a gear and was making a clicking sound.  Once I replaced that 2 weeks later my son smashed it into a door and blew the steering servo.  Since then no more problems.  My daughters ran for 2 months with no issues until about 2 weeks ago, lost the main board.  Was probably the most dificult part to change on those tiny little trucks.
