Status: offline 		Ok, I've broken in my Avalanche which wasn't that hard once I figured out the tuning. I'm actually having more trouble with the transmitter. I downloaded the manual but it reads like a bad translation. How do I get it in reverse? I'm new to these rc cars. I have the lcd fm, and I set it up to match the 'ordinary settings' in the manual. From what I understand you just push, instead of pull the trigger, but all it does is apply brake. Is there another setting I need to adjust or is there a switch I must engage before it will go into reverse? I've seen some with a toggle to maneuver it into reverse.

I had another thought about the fuel tank and wanted to get some opinions. Swapping for a larger tank might be difficult but what about adding a second tank? There's room in the front if it's mounted sideways. I'm not sure how the engine and carb would respond though with the added volume. Y-fittings could be placed on each line to run the tanks in parallel. This should pull fuel from both at the same time. I haven't timed my run times but during break in I was getting under ten minutes.

Status: offline 		What's the easiest way to reassemble the pull starter? My cord became stuck so I removed it from engine and the spring came undone before I could hold it in place. My hands aren't very coordinated to wind the spring back, but I'll keep trying, maybe I'll get lucky. I see it's going to be hard once I get it wound up to place it back in the case without it coming apart again.

Also, is there another way to start the avalanche other than pull starter?

Status: offline 		Will the CEN Roto Start work on the Avalanche? I've been trying to find one but haven't had much luck. I can't find the one on the redcat site. Unless it's the one for .27 P/N 70111j? I checked with RUfaster but I haven't heard back. Also, with the backplate, you don't need the pull starter any more right? The backplate mounts in place of the pullstarter? Because there's no way I can get the spring back into the case. It's going into the waste bin.

Status: offline 		Both the avalanche and monsoon are very fast. The monsoon is geared a little too low so it tops out fast but has tons of bottom end. I really like the avalanche because its kinda the best of both. Its monster truck quality with truggy handling. It really does handle better than ANY monster truck you put next to it and Im not kidding.
