Status: offline 		Well I hit another problem with the 20t gear. I have ordered almost every one I have seen for sale and still haven't found one that will work. The one for the 4tec is so close it's aggravating. It's almost like the hole is right but thread is different. So for now the best we can do on a bell is the losi lst 2speed threaded bell with the rs4 19t gear and R40 24t gear. I'm not going to quit trying but it's the best I have so far.

Status: offline 		The 4tec gear is a 12mm center but the threads are bigger. What would be easier? changing the bell threads or the threads inside the gear? I'm about ready to take a file to it and just jb weld it in place....lol

You need to adjust the idle with the idle screw. If you just do it with the controller every time you hit the brakes it will die. Keep it open .5-1mm. It should stay that far open even holding the brakes.

Jato rear wheels and tires work good. You can get them off ebay all the time. Which front dogbone do you mean? Tranny to front differential or differential to wheel hub? The tranny one you'll have to take the engine and tranny out to do, the front diff-wheel dogbone you can remove the wheel and hub.

Jammed? To tight of a fit? If so try what numskull223 said. If you still need more room take the drive cup of the tranny and file down the back side a little(the side the faces the transmission. You shouldn't need more then 1mm probably. If too loose you can move that drive cup out a little. Just make sure it's not too loose or it will find its way out constantly.

Status: offline 		Oh, i forgot, its a 2.5 rustler. I read that a traxxas 2.5 turns 50,000 RPM's, Is there any other motor that will fit a redcat that can turn anything close to that?

Is there performance clutches for Redcat cars?
