Status: offline 		Looks good, just an FYI, the parts for that car are the same as the Redcat Lightning, matter of fact that is the exact same as the Redcat lightning.


First thing I would do is check and make sure that they are using the new steel clutch bell, if the clutch bell is aluminum I would replace it with the new steel one or you run a major risk of stripping your gears first run out. The aluminum clutchbell warps under heat. Redcat is having there cars built with the Steel clutch bell, but I can't speak for the rest of the companies having Hi speed toys build there cars.

The car is super fast man. Your goign to love it, they drift great.

Status: offline 		Ya kind of, if you go up in teeth then you gain top speed and loose take off speed, if you go down in teeth you gain take off speed and loose top speed. You could go up one tooth to like a 17 tooth and gain alittle top speed and not loose to much take off speed or you could go down one tooth and gain some take off speed and loose alittle top speed Or you can go with the stocker and it will stay the way it is.

Status: offline 		AAFH...thanks for all the info...i ran my car for the first time today and its sick...i checked the clutch bell that you were talkin about and found out that it is in fact steel so were good on that situation...the only other question i have is when we get it started and we go to take off there is a delay in the acceleration and it wasnt like that when we first started...could it be because the batteries in the car are low...im goin back out tomorrow and i need to know if need new batteries or if i just need to do some tuning...thanks for all replies givin

Status: offline 		If it bogs when you hit the thorttle on take off, you may also need to give the LSN a 1/16th adjustment in. The LSN controls your take off fuel flow. Your head temps should be between 200-230 degrees F. Your deffinatly good on the clutch bell then if it's steel.

.16 is the Cubic Inches so the engine is about a 2.5 Cubic Centimeter engine, they don't really rate the nitro engine as far as power wise, but it probablly has somewhere in the neighborhood of 3/4 horse give or take.

.18ci is 3.0cc and so on

So when you see Traxxas advertising a 3.0 engine they really mean a .18 or if a company is advertising a 3.3 it would be .21.

Alot of companies are starting to use the Cubic Centimeter instead of Cubic Inches because it makes it look like the engine is bigger than the competitors and they bank on the fact that most people don't know that a .18 and a 3.0 are the same size motor.


On your car you can upgrade to about a .18 small block. There are alot of options in the .18 size, like O.S. has the .18 CVRs and SH has a .18, infinity .18, Novarosi .18 . You can also change your clutch bell gears to get different types of preformance. If you bring your gear up higher you get a crap load of top end speed, but sacrafise low end take off, if you bring the gears down you get a crazy amount of low end speed and sacrafice top speed. SO basically if your car does say 45 now and you put taller gears on the clutch bell it could do say 50 to 55 easy. If it does 45 now and you put on lower gears it will do maybe 35 to 40 but WAAAYYYY faster.
