Status: offline 		Sure, here's the one I run in both my Tornado S30 and Monsoon XTR! 6v Hump pack reciever batt There's no wiring to do, the hump pack has the same plug on it as the "AA" battery holder has, so ya just remove the AA holder and plug in the hump pack!! URCHobby also sells the  "adapter" so you can charge the hump pack off a standard charger..

PS: The battery says out of stock, so call or email Kurt.. He might have one in stock and just not be showing it on the website! Kurt: 516-499-7419 support@urchobby.com

Status: offline 		Any of em' really.. Even the most basic chargers should have a "Tamiya" style plug, (or come with an adapter) and the adapter I linked to above lets ya use it (or any charger) with the Humppack battery (cause the hump pack has a BEC style connector).. If you get the battery from Kurt, ask him what he recommends to charge the battery.. He has a wall charger on his site for like 5$ that I think should work fine, if all ya need to charge is the hump pack? But ask him about it, he'll steer ya in the right direction!

Thank you, just ordered everything from Kurt.

Another question, I keep reading about the "o ring" or the 2mm fuel line fix to keep the dogbones falling out, but I really don't see where to put the o-ring or fuel line, I've searched all over for a picture of this fix but couldn't find it, does anyone know of a pic? 

Thanks!

Status: offline 		The short answer is, the rims and tires that fit the Associated B44 (4x4) will also fit the Tornado S30.. (The rears for a B4 will also fit the rear, but ya need fronts for a B44) If you do a google search for Associated B44 rims and tires you should come up with pleny of options.. Sorry I dont know the exact diminsions of the wheels and tires though. Although they do use a 12mm hex on the rims.. Cheers!

I have a Tornado that I just cannot keep running! It will not idle low enough that the wheels do not turn and it very difficult to keep running at low speeds. I need help and guidance.

Thanks
Ed

Status: offline 		I have a Tornado BB, It runs fine is broken in and everything but as soon as it shifts into 2nd gear it dies. I have adjusted the screw to make it shift sooner, later all in between. No matter where it just dies when it hits 2nd. It hasn't always done this used to shift fine and drive great, just recently started. Any ideas?

Status: offline 		whauburger,

Try going back to factory settings on your needles. 2.5-3 turns out on the high and low speed needle and then tune from there. It really shouldnt be dieing because all its doing is dropping the engines rpm and going back up. So it might be a tuning issue.

Thanks,
Derek

Status: offline 		Hey all,
Well, I finally got my Tornado out and running. I'm pretty pleased with the engine. In the past I've had trouble keeping my trx .15 engine running, but this one ran really well without cutting out dying. Except when it was on it's back. Which happened quite a lot at the track I was running it on today. The car acted pretty much like it does in some of the videos I've seen of it. Bouncing around like crazy on a rough surface makes tougher to control than it should be. Going to fast and hit a rough spot - flip on it's back. Take off from a jump, rear compresses, kicks the rear up- on it's back. Any advice on how to adjust the stock setup to handle the bumps better? What sort of oil is in the shocks from the factory? It seems pretty light to me, and doesn't seem to offer much damping. Anybody had any success in getting these things to handle better?
Thanks,
Rob
