no they dont make that one from redcat yet, and to my knowledge none others are compatible, if you mesh it right you wont have problems

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
I have an E PX PRO Tornado.... I have to change the main gear and the smaller gear (sorry, I'm not up on the correct terminology). Any tips on changing this out? Do I need to take the drive shaft out? It also looks like I have to move the motor.... how do I know when I put it back it to line it up correctly with the other gear? As you can tell I am a real rookie at this and would love any advise on this.
Thanks
Thanks

there are two grub screws on the transmission, one is slanted, that one changes the shift point. the other one holds it in. i just flip the car, make sure the brakes are on the left, and turn the bottom one. turn the one that changes the shift point in, like tighten it. to make it stay in first gear. then tune your car. put the hsn at 2 1/2 turns out, then the lsn put at flush with the collar, those are stock so tune from there. then after its tuned good, then you can loosen the grub screw on the tranny little by little till it shifts at high rpms. do you know how to tune?

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
Please help...i just got my Tornado S-30 a few days ago...been having a hard time starting it for break-in procedure...now i notice my idle screw is gone....been looking for a part # and can't find one anywhere....really don't wanna wait several weeks for Redcat to send one out...is there anything compatible that maybe my lhs would carry...i called a couple places and they keep tellin me nothing fits the SH.18 but more SH.18 parts...am i totally screwed here?....also been reading the Tornado thread alot and noticing the cluthbell and spring upgrade but i think my set-up is all metal (did the magnet trick) so is that still necessary?
