Well I guess I need to learn how to read LOL. I could’ve swore this was for the earthquake 3.5 my bad. but from the pictures it appears to be the same basic truck. I finally got it Monday. it has the blue head. got it broke in went pretty good.This motor has more power than I figured for a 21 Pulled the front wheels off the ground while still running blubbery rich. However this truck has some minor design flaws which I have addressed with red cat this particular truck came with the plastic upper suspension arm which rubbed against the exhaust header I tried re-positioning it still rubbed so I finally had to Dremel some material away now it’s fine . my question is anybody know if this is a newer design or older one red cat said it sounded like an older vehicle all the pics of it show the metal upper rod . This problem was resolved with the Dremel tool. my next problem is the two speed tranny seems to shift way late turns a lot of RPMs. so when trying to adjust found out that they locktighted the adjustment screw from the factory. called red cat they told me if I cannot get it adjusted they would send me a new tranny anyone else here have this problem ? Also one other thing I was having the lean bog halfway through the tank as well. come to find out it was the fuel line. way too much of it after shortening it no longer does it runs perfect now..
