Status: offline 		Thanks for those links, I just got my replacement clutch bell this week but I'll order these next. These look pretty durable too. My clutch bell only lasted about half a gallon, is that normal or horrible? The teeth split off the bell so I ended up with the two gears and a short piece of pipe. I also have a smartech speedy tiger and that clutch bell has lasted a while, almost two gallons.

Question: On the tsunami, or any other buggys or trucks for that matter, do we need to have that piece inside the muffler with the holes on it? I took it off cause it felt like it was restricting flow and now the cars fly! I'd say at least 25% increase in speed. I am having to run a little rich on the low speed needle though to keep'er cool. I still have it if I should put it back. Thanks.

He says they don't fit. here is the part # from redcats site 06032 any one else had this problem. This is turning into a real disaster for
me. He bought 3 trucks and all have had problems becacuse of the clutch bell. Now I have to buy replacement parts from tower

Status: offline 		I'm confused I thought there was only one spur gear that drives the rear axel. The other gear you list I thought was an option to change the gear ratios to increase top end speed?
Help please

Status: offline 		Heres a Tsunami Truggy conversion. I ordered the front and rear shock towers for the tornado, as well as the wing mount and parts. Now the body sits down lower on frame and truck looks nice. I also went out and bought a pro-line crowd pleazer body today painted it up and the truck looks sweet. Here are some pics:

I bent a dogbone today so thats why its a 2wd setup in the pics, still ran great.

Yes, this is a Redcat Tsunami Truggy
