Try contacting Tri-County Racing @ [email protected], they normally respond pretty quick and have good pricing as well.

newdoughboy

and what may top speed be?

pede_187

Top speed of the tornado BB is somewhere around 40-45MPH

what about the shock wave? same thing?

Natedawg120

The Shockwave isn't going to have the top speed off the BB because of the single speed and the little smaller engine. If you upgrade to a two speed then that should get you around the same speed depending on the gearing.

PS: Shockwave owner here

gokartingbob455

ummmmmmmmm so that means its lower? sorry i just couldn't understand that completely.

PS: Shockwave owner too.

dominicevans

yea 2 speeds are faster in a straight line

gokartingbob455

ehroof

Pretty new to the RC world and I voluteered to help my 10 year old brother repair his buggy. The problem he was having was that the servo gears had broken inside the servo case. I repaired the servo and got ready to put it back in the car but realized I didnt know how the linkage was hooked up because he had already taken it apart before I got to work on it. If anyone could help me find an instruction manual or picture of the linkage I would be very gracious. Thanks for your time.

Forgot to mention that it is the throttle linkage and not the steering

ehroof

here is a link to a picture that shows how it goes, its a lighning but its the same setup.

Thanks for such a quick response! I think I have it hooked up right now but I cant find out til I bring the car back to him and he can start it up. Thanks again.

Just curious but is there a good shock/spring upgrade for a Tornado XL/Shockwave? The stock ones just let the belly hit the ground to easy, i don't do anything to crazy lol.
