Status: offline 		If i were you i woudl go to your local hobby shop and test fit them and see if they got some you like. if not tower hobbies has a lot of rims. You need some that have a 12mm hex. most should fit, but some may rub, so i would cruise around tower and then post the links to the ones you want to make sure they will fit. And what size were you lookin for? Cause stock they come with 2.8 inch rims and tires. It give a more low profile tire. But i like the 2.2 rims because you get more tire, and it looks more scale.

First pic is of my 2.2 rims and tires.
Second pics is comparing the stock volcano tires to my new ones. They are a little smaller in diameter. But something like the mashers, would be about the same size i think, and those are sick. I wanted those so bad, but ended up gettin these real cheap and i like em. But the mashers would have a big tire. like a real truck would, they look pretty sick.

get the high flow header from redcat, and an exaust coupler, any 1/10 pipe will work on it.

edit: i have a team associated torque pipe, and i like it alot

Status: offline 		your problem is prolly with your lsn (low speed needle)...sounds rich to me...by opening your trim you are letting more air into the carb which in turn leans it out....of course this also depends on if you have your hsn (high speed needle) set correctly...I would make sure your high speed needle is at approx. 2 1/2 turn from all in....when tuning u need to set your hsn needle first...then u can work on the low...but u need to have it relatively close on both to get it to run then stay running...

if you put your hsn at 2 1/2 turns and your lsn flush with the collar with 1mm gap looking into the carb it should stay running long enuff to tune...if you look up in the sticky part of redcat suppport forum you will see a how to thread...in that thread is a video to help you better understand the carb and guides you to tune your engine....the settings I gave you are general settings that should get you started to be able to tune

Status: offline 		i'm not sure if the engine mount holes are the same, but the new sh .21 for the landslide has a side exaust. it would probably give ur drivetrain some issues tho, and it's also a slide carb, but that's not a huge issue to overcome

Status: offline 		I Have found a solution to fix the rear diff on the volcano sv. THe solution although appearing to be obvious the results in performance are amazing. Heres what you do take out the diff and dissassemble it including the carrier, so you can get to the spider gears. Clean everything real good with brake cleaner, the reason you use brake cleaner is it removes the grease and does not leave a film. With everything in place inside the carrier fill it with 2 ton epoxy or something similar and reassemble. Once cured it will be a locked rear end. Reinstall the diff and enjoy!
