Status: offline 		that gear is called a spur gear, and no metal spur gears are a bad idea for them. they are plastic so that part fails if there is a problem and to save the rest of the driveline. you could look at allaboutfunhobbies or send an email or pm himotoracingusa. he might be able to help you out as well.

Status: offline 		is the rear differential the same as the front?? what are all the parts tht build a full differential?? I want to keep a whole one extra cause my front one seems to be the CLICLKING problem I am having... so I think its about to go soon.... I want to have an extra for when it breaks....

EdIT** also... what kind of oil/grease do I use inside the differential when rebuilding it...

Status: offline 		Yes the same. It catually looks just like a real life rearend. It has a ring gear and a pionion gear. Check to see if the c clip as came off the Pionion gear, could cause clicking souund.
I have noticed that when I apply the brakes, you can hear a lil clicking sound, but I knoe its the brakes, but I havent had the brakes lock up by there self. Good Luk.

Status: offline 		diff is all ok... all metal gears.. I thought they were plastic... my problem is on the trans then for sure.. I got an spur gear kit.. I will try replacing the smaller metal gear cause the big one is fine the small is a little worn.. not too much but might be it.....

Status: offline 		man its frustrating... I've taken the whole truck apart everysingle screw.... I cant find anything wrong.... today I finally found the sweet spot on tunning truck is running like hell... almost doing wheelies on grass but now its clicking way more when I rev it and when I brake... I tried braking and reving it to 100% for a while just full speed stop full speed stop but the damn part thts cliclking WONT BREAK ... I just want it to break now so I can see it and replace it... all differential gears are fine... clutch bell has no wear spur gear has no wear... I am starting to notice tht when it clicks I loose performance.... and when braking and it clicks its like the car runs loose for a sec of the click and locks again...I am already annoying everyone here I knw but this is suppost to be the official redcat racing support and I cant get any answer from them.......

I knw I am not doing anythign wrong... and there is no broken or stripped gears... now I m starting to regret saving 100$ cause I would've been better of paying more and not having this S#!T problem and no support

srry guys its nothing against u guys in the forum... I m pissed at redcat cause I email them and NOTHING.. I post here and NOTHING... its just frustrating....

Status: offline 		Have you checked that the set screws on the drive cups are set on the flat spot? Just a suggestion.

maybe the linkage for the brake is binding? Had mine out yesterday and didn't hear a clicking sound.

Hope you find the problem.

Chris

Status: offline 		Check ur servos, I had one clicking on mine tonight, when I was adjusting the throttle, It was constantly clicking as long as I held the throttle down.
also, set the truck off the ground and crank it, run it, that way you can investigate the sound, while its running.

Status: offline 		Is it under light braking or heavy braking? Have you checked the rotor for warp? Have you checked the brake "caliper" squareness to the driveline? (If the two bolts holding the brake pads are tightened down differently so that the pads are trying to twist the rotor on the transmission output shaft, you'll get a clicking)

There are things to check out, but ultimately you've got to be the one to find it.

Status: offline 		I`d do like numskull said. If your lacking performance maybe the throttle servo is slipping and would cause breaking problems too. You can take it out of the truck and take the top off the servo and look for stripped gears. I hope you find the problem but thats where I`d start.

Status: offline 		Hey all found this thread about redcats, lot more posts than I thought.. wanted to post pics of my volcano and show it off, my friend and I have done two big block conversions now, and the truck works pretty well now with the metal spur gear. the next thing we need is a stronger diff, let me know if you have a way to upgrade the ring and pinion.. it pulls very nice wheelies, want to get a video up on youtube and try to get a top speed on this thing, whats the easiest way to do a top speed test? we were thinking of driving next to a real vehicle.. just seems to risky, is there a cheap radar gun?

Status: offline 		nahh.. problem is not with the servo.... the calipers of the brake are square..... the problem happens when I brake fully or only slightly... when I rev it.. it clicks too..
i tried running it on my hand to hear the clicks where they are comming from but it only happens under load.. when the whells are off the ground it runs smoothly

Status: offline 		I`d still check inside the servo if under load it does it it could be a stripped gear. Not under load means the servo doesn`t have to work as hard hence no clicking. I`m just trying to help you, if you have ripped the truck apart then why not go the extra step and look at the servo.

Nice truck! What transmission are you running and what is this metal spur gear you speak of?

Status: offline 		Ugly duck Thanks! the tranny is a redcat 2 speed that with some tweaking we put an hpi 47 tooth savage gear on.. the plastic redcat gears would actually MELT when we would idle for a bit with the .32 so the most we ever got out of a plastic gear was 5 or 6 tanks and that was really annoying changing that gear all the time. now im on my third ring and pinion.. So welcome to the club Gelo lol..
anyway, as far as the metal gear goes.. I dont know how well it would work with a small block, since the redcat 2 speed wouldnt work on the volcano.. it had no power. I think 47 tooth is the 2nd gear, but with 3 horsepower it still has plenty of torque. to keep the small block and have a better tranny I dont know how to help... 47 tooth is just about the bigest one I can fit on my truck so unless you add more power I dont know how to get away from that gear reduction.
