put an os .18 cvrx in it, its like $100 and its much more powerful than the stock one, its the one blue posted. i have 1 in my hpi and tmaxx, its a great engine. easy to tune and start.

no 3 speed for the volcano
but you could do 2 speed just need the 2 speed tranny and upgraded clutch bell so it doesnt bog out on startup

Hook it up bro, i like the volcano as a single speed though, i think the 2 speed would not work well on the volcano.

the gearing on the redcat 2 speeds is too high, the tornado has small wheels. the volcano has nice snap as it is

you would probably have a hard time routing the exhaust, i dont know if you would have the room behind the engine.
