RE: single speed swap on a tornado
thanks ehroof, i magically found the little "searchposts" box up there so i have been reading up on the swap. Anyhow one guy was talking about a clutch bell upgrade when doing the swap, but the links are dead

just swap it for a 05126 or a 02126 and a single speed clutch bell.

I can't seem to find a larger spur from Redcat that will fit the Shockwave tranny. Also HPI doesn't have any threaded two speed pinnions any smaller than 15T. I know I could put the Volcano tranny in the Tornado and just put a single speed clutch on, but I was trying to avoid the Volcano tranny due to it's numerous gears, this only adds torque loss and self destruction to the equation. I also investigated just trying to find a larger spur for the first gear of the Tornado tranny since right now I just run it in first anyway, but have not been able to find that either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's pretty easy. I swapped my single speed in my Shockwave for a two speed..... switching it back to a single. I find that the two speed didn't have enough torgue for my liking. It had speed out on a hard surface like a large parking lot, but not enough torque to get dirty in the grass and gravel.
