basically you put the transmitter and car on, put the trim knobs on the transmitter to the center, try to put the throttle arm on the throttle servo so the carb is 1mm open and the brake is not on or as close as possible, put the arm on the steering servo so the wheels are as close to straight as possible then trim them the rest of the way with the trim knobs. is this what you wanted to know? there is no real set way, if you need, check out the pictures on the redcatracing.com website at the volcano to get a basic idea of how they go.

do you mean the brake linkage? if so, there is a small grub screw that hold it in place, right on top inside the chrome piece above it. check the grub screws in the drive cups (cups that hold the dogbones). also make sure the slipper clutch is tight on the trans, its the nut behind the spur gear.

ehroof

seems like a good deal, i dont like rotostarts, you need that charged battery all the time, not saying its not good, i used to love it on my hpi till i showed up to the track with a dead battery, within a 1/2 hour i had a pull start on it and a starter box.

jaybird84

its the chrome piece that goes into were all the gears are that is also attach to the throttle the chrome rod now can be pulled aot easly so do i need to take all that apart and if so is there an easyer way then taking the whole car apart?

ehroof

thats the brake rod, there is a pad behind the brake that the flat part of that rod sits one. should stay in place if installed right.

ehroof

spray the whole rc down with wd40 before you run it and after when its dry, blow off the excess if you have a compressor or can of air.

ehroof

lol and thats not all of them. I am a GC in NYC and the 5 boro's but i am looking for something else to do soon, dont know what yet. lol

I can move my spur gear left and right, there is a space of about an 1/8" between the nut and the side of the case. I assume the spur gear shouldn't slide side to side. I tried to loosen the nut with a wrench but couldn't hold the spur gear. What is the easiest way to adjust this? Do i have to remove the transmission?

Thanks

ehroof

you need to tighten it, not loosen it then, just hold the gear with one finger and use a wrench and tighten the slipper nut.

it does stay in place but i tore the gasket and dont know where to get one any ideas?

ehroof

what gasket?

nitrozach54

PLEASE help?

ehroof

ok

the 2 shafts on the top are for the transmission, the gears go on them

02016 are for the front and rear diff,
02003 goes from the trans to the rear diff
06006 goes from the trans to the front diff
