Need Help finding parts


Im looking for a roll cage and bigger fuel tank for my Volcano S30's. I seen people have added a 2nd tank but there is room to make the tank higher without changing the rest of the dimensions on the original tank. Im hoping there is a taller tank out there that can be mounted to the stock brackets?

I'm also looking for some better wheels and tires. What do you recommend?

My Volcano S30 is all stock and is currently broken. My son wrecked into me by accident going about 20 mph and it ripped off my rear arms, destroyed one shock, broke shock tower and damaged front arm. Nothing happen to his truck as he has majority aluminum parts.

I checked out your site however the prices are nowhere near aliexpress or ebay prices. Also when going to the volcano s30 selection the wrong part numbers are listed for this truck. Thanks anyway.

Nice trucks you have there. My S30 is in need of a winter overhaul, mostly the body though, so your post is a bit of inspiration. I was thinking of a black F150 supercrew body to match my 1:1 truck. The aluminum upgrades look awesome. I might have to throw a few of those on there too. I am loving the S30! I can't speak for everybody but my Redcats rock (I have an RS10 too)..... J

Thanks. We too love the S30's and have been happy with them especially the price for aluminum hop ups. They were a lot of work at first but now that I know the truck inside and out I couldn't be more happy.

Check out this video of a Volcano S30 Black F150 I seen on youtube. Those Slash tires and wheels are bad ass on that black body! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnHD-gqkE-g

I used Plasti DIP spray on my white Chevy. Boy does it hold up well with out chipping. I have took some pretty hard hits and it still looks new.
