Status: offline 		Would aluminum shock towers be bad? Because in the tornado review it says that one of the cons is aluminum shock towers.

Status: offline 		so i was out bashing at my local bashing point, and i'm very impresed. the tornado could smoke the smartech winner pro (both stock) and a few of the on road cars in a drag strip.
anyway when i was taking it apart for maintanence i found out that my right front weel won't come off!!!
it will still run normally, but i'm stil worried any suggestions??
by the way 15 tanks thru the engine and no sigh of wear on the clutch or the spur gears but i do hear a faint wine when i accelerate from dead stop. is that normal?
thx a lot!

Status: offline 		its a direct fit but i dont know if it has more power than the vx.18, i had one in my rs4 and i wasnt really impressed. trade your engine in on the sh.18, thats a nice engine and will cost you > $50 with the engine replacement program from redcat.

Status: offline 		either you have your engine to lean or to rich. lean it out and if it is worse richen it. does it bog any?


hey redcat's engine replacement program lasts for how long? can you really beat it with a hammer and they'll still give you another one with a discount?

does redcatracing.com sell king pins?

ummmm does RTM mean the same thing as factory team kit?

Status: offline 		yeah about the t .15. it revs higher tho and i cant get my buggy to shift coming up my road and the shift adj. screw is pretty far backed off and i dont want to loosen it anymore cause i dont want it to fall out. does the other motor from redcat rev higher? how much better is it than the vx? how much is it with the return?

Status: offline 		I have both of them and my tornado sounds like that too. I think that is just how it is man, sounds alot louder and like the engine is ready to blow but works just fine.
