Status: offline 		Here's The low down. I am new to the Rc nitro world and filling like i am learning a lesson. After i spent 200.00 on a redcat volcano s30 and was waiting on it to arive. i went to a locale Rc shop that i had never ben to befor and wish i would of went befor my purches of the volcano.
This Rc shop holds indoor races every sunday and the staff is very nalagabile. The owner told me that i sould send the redcat back not to even open it and for me to look at diffrent options. But me being excitied about my truck didnt take his advice. my red cat has so far ben a good one starts well runs fast great!! But i also understand the nature of the hobby and know that little parts are going to break. Ok this is not my problem with redcat my problem is and like my local hobby dealer told me if you need parts "good Luck" Now i Know Ive had my redcat for three days my brakes quite working  im pretty sure why they arent but i need parts "no big deal" RIGHT! the parts i need cost 3.99 the shipping is 9.00 that is stupid and agrvating. Ive also tried to emial the support team 5 times today and can get an email to go threw to them. Now im starting to get mad. The parts i need cant wiegh no more than a few oz's that could be shipped standard mail with a 44cent postage stamp. Help!!!!
If you are looking to buy a red cat make sure ther is a vendor ner you.

What is wrong with your brakes ?

Usually it is just an adjustment.

What parts do you think you need ?

Who did you email ?

So if you are turning the wheels and the fiber disk does not move but the cup and dog bone are moving it means it has rounded out the fiber disk and you need a new disk. The replacement brake kit is redcat part number 02044 It comes with 2 brake disks, 4 pads and 4 screws.

Status: offline 		Make sure the setscrew on the drive "cup" (nearest the brake disk) is tight.. But yea, the main setback on Redcat is gonna be that LHS's most likely wont have replacement parts.. Although, for somehting like a brake disk, ya might be able to find an HPI or similar equivalent?? I know they (HPI) have some Spur gears for the 2 speed tranny, 2 speed Clutch bell/Pinion, clutch shoes/springs, ect. that'll fit some Redcat vehices.. On the plus side, you can get a decent rc vehicle for a great price, and find out if you really want to run that particular "class" of vehicle.. Do a search on your car (here in the redcat forum) and you'll be able to come up with a list of replacement parts you should have on hand, and be able to make an order and not get beat up too bad on the s&h charges..

For off road or dirt you are better off with the single speed setup on your s30 truck. Better low end and torque. As for engine longevity, we have several SV's ,used as driver training / practice trucks, here from 2006 that still run fine w/o any major service.
the key is to keep it clean and always set piston at BDC when cooling.

Status: offline 		I too just purchased a Volcano S30 last week....and besides having a faulty steering servo...It runs like a top...and fast too....I just ordered upgraded shocks...upgraded air filter...blue fuel filter...Upgraded steel spur gear...High speed steering servo....and a set of brakes..(Just in case)......I think you'll enjoy this truck...Takes a bit to tune properly and to set gear mesh..but other than that...It flies..!!!
Enjoy it bud...

Status: offline 		yea what chevyderek said it's to lean on hsn. HSN has nothing to do with idle. But if it's loading up and spiting fuel out at idle your lsn may be to rich get that set do the fuel line pinch test to set lsn and then set your idle
