RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread
melted the battery pack in my Volcano. lost control and went full out into a brick wall. Little dissapointed but has anyone else ever had this happen? I may have been running the truck for about 5 min when it happened. the plastic melted where the springs where imbedded. Little hard to see in the picture but I am confused.

RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread
I just ordered my Volcano SV and I should be getting it tomorrow....I was reading about after run oil. How important is this if I am going to be running the truck on a regular basis? I also want to build a jump does anyone have any suggestions? I am also open to any other helpful hints in using my new truck.

I'm looking to put an rpm pipe and hpi header on a Volcano SV so if you could list a good one that will work on it, that would be great!

RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread
people have different opinions on after run oil, if im going to be runnin in the next day or two i dont use it but if i store it for a bit or if think i might i use it, i just bought some marvel mystery oil and it will last me the rest of my life.
and go to allaboutfunhobbies.com they have the rpm pipes, i have the ae rpm one and i love it.

I felt the same way, "I would run the truck as often as i could"......"It probably wouldn't sit for more than 2 days." In fact you do get busy, and you do have down time. after run oil is one of the best forms of preventative maitenance, other than proper engine break-in. For peace of mind and my forgetfulness I bought morgans sidewinder fuel (20% - 10%oil) It has additives in it to eliminate the need for after run oil.......very nice!!!!!

RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread
I just purchased a volcano, engine is running fine. When I went to run it for the 3rd time I took the tires off and cleaned it up and put the tires back on and now the tires have seized and they won't turn at all. Can anyone help me with what may be wrong?

RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread
Hello all,
I was bashing my Volcano and noticed that the front wheels was the only one pullin. The rears have stopped. No missing dogbones, and when I spin the rear tires everthing turns and the tranny spins with it. Have I blown the tranny?
Does Redcat make steel tranny gears, Mines plastic and is needing replaced. Thanks

RE: Redcat Racing Volcano Thread
if the front wheels spin, but the back ones dont it is not your tranny because there is a single shaft that drives both the front and back. Check all of your drive cups including tranny and diff, and make sure that they are tightened. It might be that the grub screws are tight enought for you to spin by hand, but when the enging torques on it they just slip.
