My VX.18 gets my truck to 34mph with minor upgrades.(Thats what Officer Dave clocked it at) Its got like 20 gears in the tranny. I have the single speed tranny to put in it, Im waiting to break the one in it now. Im also pretty sure it comes down to gearing too.

you don't want to , and i don't know if there is a transmission with reverse that will fit into the volcano without mods.
Reverse is pretty much just an extra hassle to worry about, and when would you actually REALLY need it

Status: offline 		I got a Volcano for Christmas last year and the thing ran great for four months until my wife drove it and broke the pull start off of it. So I just got me one of the electric starter kits for it and put it all together but now the motor will not start. Any suggestions would help.

it might also be that you didn't get the electric start together correctly?

Howdy, the volcano used a 12mm hex hub so any wheel that uses a 12mm hex are good... I personally like the pro-line agitator (rear) wheels. I have them mounted on my volcano with masher 2000 tires and it rocks... and no rubbing... I wouldn't go bigger than a 5 and a 1/2 inch tall wheel unless you get wheel extensions also... Good luck - you can find the agitator rear rims fairly cheap on ebay and you can use any 2.2 type tire with them.

No problem. The pro-line rims are plenty tough, and they made the agitator rim 40% more durable a while back. You CAN get aluminum rims but they cost an arm and a leg... the cheapest place I have found for any type of wheels or tires is ebay, do a 'title and description search' for 12mm wheels in the RC section. Or you can bite the bullet and get 12mm to 14mm wheel extension/adapters and mount 14mm wheels. You still can't run huge tires though, unless you do like me and put in a two speed tranny matched with an HPI 13 / 18 tooth STEEL clutch bell. If you really want a nice Volcano, get some T-MAXX shocks while you're at it (not the XXL or extra longs). They are just a little longer than stock Volcano shocks but fit nicely.

Status: offline 		I just got my Red Cat Volcano EPX Pro Brushless RTR on Feb 11th 2009 and it was working fine during that day. After about 20mins of in house run time (I was just testing and driving the truck slow in the house trying to get use to it) the truck started to act up by not responding to the transmitter as good, kept shaking and bouncing back and forth repeatedly fast like a car with a dying engine. I thought it was just the battery so I decided to fully charge and battery and call it a night. The next day, I power on both device (transmitter and truck seem to power up normally like yesterday) and now the truck will not respond to the transmitter at all anymore. I press and twist all buttons on transmitter already and still nothing. Only had the truck for 3 days now and only had the chance to drive it outside for 1 min because it was very cold and about 20mins inside the house on the first day. Please help. Thanks!

Truck specs: Brushless motor with Brushless ESC

Battery: 6cell 7.2v 2000mah

Charger: dynamite vision peak 2

Status: offline 		Someone in another thread was having the same problem. But he was using bigger batteries. His problem was the connectors. There was too much resistance. He threw some Dean connectors on there and the problem went away. I dont see how a 2000mah battery can give you a problem like this, but then again, I've read a lot of bad things about these brushless systems. Also hear that the stock radios themselves arent that great. I didnt take any chances with my Nitro so I ordered new servos and an extra Futaba FM receiver. Could be your crystals, make sure they arent loose. And look into some new connectors asap. You want Deans......
