I don't have a nitro Volcano but I hope some experience with the brushless version can help:

I own an HSP Brontosaurus, it's basically a 1:10 Redcat Volcano EPX.
They are all from the same factory (according to my supplier who claimed he had been there).
I am running 3300kv brushless on 8.4V NiMH.

And I am also bending dogbones during jumps/crashes/cartwheels/half tube stunts etc.
Remedy: adjust the camber of both wheels just a lil more positive. It'll give a little more gap for suspension travel. I also stiffened up the springs with preloaders.
They helped because I bash instead of race.

Other problems:
- Aluminium propeller shaft (long shaft) was twisted broken at the joint between the ball head and the tube shaft. The pin simply spins off due to centrifugal force (i guess).
Damage: it ate a hole in my motor can. [:@]
Remedy: replaced the pin and secured it with epoxy.

- Servo saver always comes loose, so I locktite it, same as wheel nuts and motor mouting screws.

- Stock servo is too weak. During full throttle acceleration, steering would go out of alignment. So I changed it with a left over high torque servo from a previous 1:8 truggy. Tighten the servo saver a lil more and steering is smooth....but...servo saver is 'deforming', if that's the right word. - got to find a metal one.

- stock composite chassis is too soft, and bending even with the double deck design. My upper deck aluminum plate had gone all wavy so every now and then I'll have to flatten it.

- spur and pinion worn out fast due to dust/debris. I spray them with silicone dry lube.

- remember to locktite all screws on metals especially the grub screw in drive cups. I had bad experience.


I don't understand, won't this limit the gap on both ends? I am new to RC and still have lots to learn. Pls help explain.



Thanks & just my 2 cents.

how much do you have to use after run oil

jrags

another question do tou tune your engine until the engine is clearly not running better then turn the screw 1/8 turn counter clockwise

ehroof

the reason that you may be bending dogbones is because there is too much "slop" in the dogbone and when you jump and hit the ground they bind and bend, the fuel tubing will take up the "slop" and they wont bind anymore, you can make them tight, there has to be a little play.

ehroof

i use it at the end of every running day before i put my rc away

ehroof

pretty much, you lean until you dont see any difference then you richen it a little so yes, your right!!!

jaybird84

ben283

my pullstart will not recoil

please help

kuppler

the spring inside might of popped..
take the pull start off and take a look. its not hard to reset. almost anyone can do it..

Redharris

Just be aware that it may Pop out (SPROINNNG!) when you disassemble it. But it s not too hard to put back together if you have strong fingers.

put the high needle to 2 1/2 out from closed and the low needle flush with the collar around the set screw. this setting should get you going then you can tune from there, here are a couple of tuning video's.

kutzie1793

has anyone ever taken the exhaust off, taken it apart, and found that baffle piece in the front half? does it hurt anything to take that out? and whats it sound like without it?

ehroof

you can take it out, it will sound a little louder. you wont hurt anything, you may just need to retune the engine.
