Has anyone successfully changed motors in their menace? It looks like I am going to have to get some motor mounts custom made since no one seems to make any that will work...

cltgt

There has to be someone who has done this????

I have this truck on the way.

www.schumacher-rc.com they sell a .28 conversion kit for it, comes with mounts, .28, and a few other small things. Or you could get some custom adjustable mounts from www.wolfpackradicals.com for $40 i think.After you get some mounts, any roto/pull .21-28 will fit right in.

Thanks! I wonder if the mounting blocks in the Schumacher kit use standard mounting holes..

is everyone using original radio euipmentor have u upgraded as mine does not want to seem to work so well thinking of changing it to digital stuff

propus

I've used the wplfpack mounts to fit the tt.28 in my menace. They work a treat and he sent the mounts to me within a week! I'm in the UK. The menace4x4x28 pops high speed wheelies now which is fun, but can get a bit annoying when trying to drag race. I ripped my new shell in half due to too many wheelies

can you fit a 5 cell rx pack in there, or is it too small for that?

rclynx

hump pack should fit[8D]

propus

Yeup it fits fine, I have one in mine. Makes a whole world of a difference to the brake performance! With a hump pack you can upgrade the servos too.

87goldtub_rc10

Nice, I'm looking at gettting one. Have you tried a port and polish job on the Thunder Tiger Pro .21? I'll drive the stocker silly - gotta spin to win, right? I would stick with a .21 afterwards, prob an OS.

is there eny aluminium clutches that would fit the menace as myn as over heated and melted i might as well get one if there is one

davenraithatha

That happened to my first clutch aswell, not sure if there are any aluminium ones by i dont think there are, but iv had my second clutch for a while now and i seems 2 still be ok, iv had bearing failures in the pinion/on the engine shaft twice tho.

Does anyone know if there are metal gears? im fed up of strippin mine

ProRCRacer88

Theres no metal gears or metal shoes.
If your stripping gears alot it means you dont have the mesh set right.

i own a sumacher menace n i have had quite a bit of experence with nitro cars now well i mean im pritty good at handling them eny way i was wondering there must be a diffrent shell that fit the schumacher menace out there that is stronger n harder than the stock one as well its a bit naf mine nah. thank you,mike

ProRCRacer88

Any tmaxx body will fit. I have another kind of body on mines, its a body off the Thunder Tiger ST1 truggy.



thats the only other body i know that fits nicely on the menaces.

Hi
I just got a menace 21 last Friday and have a few questions. How do you tell if the truck is hitting all 3 speeds? And is there a way to adjust shift points within the set-up? Is there different gears and pinion kits for these trucks? And where is everyone finding parts? I have been to the Schumacher site directly and the only other place i found was the Schumacher R/C Superstore Support here on rcu which i have already ordered a new set of rims and now 1 aluminum suspension mount for the front. Just wondering if these have been out that long that there is not many part houses for them like for the savage. And i am open to all the little secrets that i should know about this truck. Thanks for the help

ICE24

easiest way of knowing when it changes gear is u will hear it secndly u can make it change a bit quicker by drilling tiny holes in the pawls this will make them lighter therfore changin quicker

ace007

Thanks for the help. I do listen for it like i do on my savage i hear it hit 2nd i might just be running out of room before it can hit 3rd. And i know its a matter of preference but what is the usual number of holes and what size drill bit? My plan is to make it a street racing menace and being this is my first Schumacher and noticing that there is no screws to adjust stuff other than the carb i'm just wanting to know before i jack it up.lol I just got my road hawgs 2 and 142oz steering servo in today (yahoo) next will be my rims and that darn aluminum mount piece for the suspension up front. This seems to be a wicked and fun little truck can't wait till i get it set-up.lol Thanks again

boohoo
