Status: offline 		heyy i have a volcano sv. i broke a front axle, so i pulled out the other one so its just rear wheel drive. is this bad for it?? what should i take out to make it run better as rear wheel drive? and also, my trucks pretty stock. where can i get an engine just big enough to pull a wheelie (used, very cheap[like under 30bucks])??

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.
