Status: offline 		I just got a new S30 volcano nitro rc truck and it will not stay running. when I plug the exhaust and try priming, nothing happens but yet when i remove the fuel line from the exhaust and blow thru the fuel llne the fuel starts to move towards the carb. Would this be due to an air leak some where? Also can someone pleae provide me with the factory settings or settings for the HSN and LSN, so I can atleast get the truck running. I am going to check for air leaks, Thanks...

Status: offline 		I set the LSN 2.5-3 turns out, and the HSN 3.5-4 turns out for a baseline. That seems like a pretty rich setting, but I can at least start the truck. The factory settings are on rcu somewhere, if you search.

EDIT: here you go.

Status: offline 		I recently bought a S30 Volcano, had it for about two weeks made the mistake of allowing my son to drive it...had about 100yrds before coner of the build appeared. messed up the left side pretty good. I have found most of the parts that I need minus the aluminum gear box for the front, I did want mess around a bit more so went down and bought the cheap plastic while waiting on the alumium stuff but got home and the Gear box houing he gave me is wrong yet Redcat says it works what else do I need to make part #02051(upgraded diff housing) work because its alot different than the p# 06045. Or where can I find part # 122275, old part # 122075, this is the aluminum part number. These numbers came from the pamplet in the box with my nitro.

Any help would be greatly apprieciated.

But there is a few out there, check www.prolineracing.com I got 70s ford truck body for mine there, and some BA looking wheelse and Tires. Hope this helps some.

Status: offline 		Hey, I am brand new to the RC world.  Only RC car I have ever had before now was a $20 walmart wired car.  I currently have a Volcano EPX Pro with a 7.2V 40C LiPo, not a bad little rig.  The only issue I am having, which I am sure is perfectly normal, is that I am constantly breaking the hub carriers (front and rear).  I am in the process of looking/buying aluminum parts. I plan on replacing everything that I can with aluminum.  So far I have:

-Control Arms (front/rear)
-Servo link
-Front/rear linkages (tie rods?)
-Front C carrier
-12mm wheel hex
-Front/rear hub carrier

So my question is, with all of the upgrades, do I need to buy anything additional like bushings, new/different screws, etc... Any help/advice would be AWESOME.  Also, are there any custom parts (i.e. roll cages, bigger bumpers, wheel spacers...)?.  Again, I am brand new to all of this but I am loving it more and more (at least when it's in operational condition).  Thanks in advance for any help!

-Tyler

Status: offline 		 ok. So I have been in the nitro world for a few months now and I own two vehicles. The first is my redcat volcano. It ran great for a couple of months. Now I drive my other a lil more and I tried to get the redcat back out yesterday. It will prime and run great. Idling good. Turn my trim down and start driving. Drives good. Then when I go full out speed runs. It will run like crazy. Nice blue stream of smoke and everything. Hit the breaks to sling it around and (if) it cuts off. It will not crank again until it has sat there for a few min and cooled off. Then it repeats. I have gotten pretty good (not that great) at setting needles on my jato, and I can get it to run great (sometimes) lol. But anyway, does anyone have an explanation for this. Im stumped. I even set my buddies redcat up for him and never a bit of trouble at all. Ive learned to do all kinda stuff. He brings his to me when he needs something fixed. Ive read quite a bit on these and it seems my sleeve and piston arent seating when they get hot. But ive always ran it rich. Never lean. When it idles, it even has spots of nitro that it spit out. Please help because I'm getting very irritated and I have messed with this truck for several hrs. Oh idle 1/8th open, ln 2.5 turns out from bottom, hn is 2.75 turns out.

Status: offline 		Had the same with my Volcano, I always seem to be to rich and if I disconnect the line from top of fuel tank and blow through it, pushing nitro thru the exhuast which has decrease wait time. now my truck has the SH.18, my Earthquake on the other is set spot on and dead perfect as far as tuning, this is the SH .21, I could run a entire tank through it, soon as it stopped couldnt get it to fire right back up.  after closer inspections they flood out pretty easy, even if I ran it out of gas still had nitro in cyclinder. so removed glow plug and found this out. What I was told is run hot glow plugs, I was running mediums from start till this issue stopped. worked on my SH.21 no issues always lights right back up....now with the SH.18 I had to fiddle with the servo for the throttle but I bought the slide carb for it. http://www.rufaster.com/sh18slidecarburetor-te1809b2.aspx, with settings at 3.5 complete turns out LN, High 4.25 turns out, with HOT and HOT only Glow plugs. Never had the issue again with the volcano. Could be because I could never set the twist carbs....Hopefully helps ya some.

Status: offline 		Yes thats the one...if you dont use it to often at the moment, I am currently setting up my store, and I just got the paper work back in as a Authorized Redcat dealer. So I'll se what I can do pricing wise for you.  Because even before as a normal joe, I got that carb for $23 bucks new in packaging....30 seems a bit high. I just have to have time to set up my account, and get everything rolling.

Status: offline 		Thats awesome bro. Thanks. Do I gotta change anything as far as how the servo actuator pulls it. I mean the barrel style rolls and this one slides in and out to open. Like my jato and it pulls it straight on. My volcano pulls from the rear rolling it to open it. Thanks again.

Status: offline 		Any leaks at all, I asked this because im seeing this happen to more and more guys, specially letting them sit over the winter months. Check the Orings on both high and low needles, back them out and inspect them if they look famished then more than likely your prob, also look just a couple post of mine up theres exact settings where they need to be and had no issues out of the. giving they had fuel and air filter wasnt clogged. thats for both SH.18 and SH.21 motors.

Status: offline 		Check the fuel tube and the primer tube from exhuast to fuel cell as well. noticed with a used one i got someone replaced the line, and lengthened it, clipped them back into the little holders under the handle there, but was bent where it road on the spur gear, and wore a pin hole in it. Till i tracked it down, that one would run and speed up then stall from time to time. Now with that said if you get air right there, then does it speed up like its running low on fuel before it dies? Also I have learned with all my redcats now not to crip the fuel line to choke them out, but rather just pinch the air off on the filter. holding them down and doing so I have stripped almost every Diff out of my volcanos30s and Earthquakes.

Status: offline 		Also speed try these settings, with settings at 3.5 complete turns out LN( the one on top), High 4.25 turns out(the screw on the side) make sure your not counting one turn as a 180. full 360 from starting point.  Giving you have the SH.21 on there. The SH.18 is close to the same, just 3.75 on the high side is all thats needed. those are for Slide Carb settings as well.
