Status: offline 		i got my volcano (well himoto eldorada, no diff) for around 75 with 15 for shipping and it was pretty much unscratched, totally clean, everything in perfect condition, but the clutch shoes were worn to HELL i cant believe it can get that worn it was so warped(this guy must have never crashed/flipped the thing cuz engine seems to had a lotta tanks gone through it yet no plastic part was even scratched), but anyways, a used volcano unless perfect prob wouldnt even fetch you 100 bucks no one wants to buy these used unless you got lots of alum hop ups.

Status: offline 		I have a volcano sv pro. since it was new I have had many problems with it breaking and then problems finding parts. right now the slipper clutch has come apart, I guess this is a common problem with them. I want to upgrade to another brand slipper rather then the redcat. will the parts listed above in this thread for the stx also fit the sv pro?. just want to make sure before I buy anyting.

Status: offline 		they are real close to coming out by hand , I'm sure they would if I turned the wheels just right and jounced the suspension at the same time. they are the only ones list for this model. I am hoping that this last time it was just beacuse the wheel was overtightened, puling the cup through so tight that the wheel was hard to turn. but this is the second time I have lost one. so... I have seen other people on the web that have had the same problem. it seems to be only with the sv pro.

Status: offline 		Will this setup work on my Volcano SV? I have already replaced the spring and clutch bell....and have had no problems in several tanks of fuel. Many thanks for the good info!

Status: offline 		it will work, it will give you better low and top end, its more of a direct drive transmission, threre's no small gears in the transmission. it comes with a complete transmission including the brakes and a steel clutch bell. Thanks for the compliment and your welcome.

Status: offline 		i have one, and it works great, good torque on low end and nice top end, sounds better too, not as many gears in the transmission.

Status: offline 		I have another question. Nowhere in my manual on my volcano SV does it show what type of cap screws are used to fasten the exhaust manifold to the engine. I was running mine today and the exhaust manifold fell off the engine...not too cool. Any help will, once again, be appreciated. Thanks

Status: offline 		You could get them easy at your LHS because most all side mount exhaust systems are the same. Or change that bugger to a header and new screws come with it LOL
