As long as it is rotary carb, side exhaust and standard shaft not short shaft it should fit.

my friend is taking his tornado xp out on the beach some where during spring break so what should he watch for?

the water, lol. also sand messing up the gears, very rought stuff, make sure the air filter is on good and tight, if it falls off and you dont realize it, the engine is history, put a zip tie on the neck where it meets the carb. I had the one on my jato fall off and it sucked in sand. messed up engine.

how do keep the sand from getting in the gears?

water...lol i can see James walking home with a soaking wet car now. lol

Still no rocket car runs..[:@] woke up this morning to 4 inches of snow on the ground and it's still coming. I probably got a while before it will all melt again. Waiting for the snow to melt is worse then waiting on parts...You guys will be the first to know when I get it going though. Now it's the boring waiting game again..[&o]

gokartingbob455

dude, its almost freaking april and you still have snow?!?!?!?!? its 51 degrees in louisville right now. the highest temp you get in a year is probably like, 40 degrees?

hope the snow melts soon man. make sure you video tape the rocket car!

ehroof

i have a place in upstate ny and they got 8 inches of snow last night, its only 4 hours away from nyc.

I'm right up by the Canada border so we get their cold weather all the time. lol Horrible temperature range though.. -40 to 110 F. Makes it kinda hard to keep the cars tuned...

Swamp3r

Hi

I just got a Redcat Shockwave a few weeks ago. I know I need to change the cluthch shoes and bell, I just got a bunch of replacement parts including a ball bearing upgrade and a two speed tranny and cluth bell. I know I installed it right. I tried to run it today, the buggy did shift to 2nd gear originally after about 3 seconds in first, but after that the buggy was stuck in 2nd all the time. I checked it out best I could and it appears that the little clutch arm has very little tension on it. It does not matter where I set the grub screw the tension does not change. Any suggestions? It appears all its parts are their including the spring and bead.


Thanks for you help.

Would I be better off with the single speed anyway?

dominicevans

y did u go 2 speed?? I'm going 1 speed
2 speeds are sweet but they are quite troublesome [][]

Nitro Ray

Hi

What bigger tires and rims can I put on the shockwave? What parts would I need to make this happen.

Thanks

Nitro Ray

Hi

I still have the 1 speed, I am probally better off.

thanks

I am going to pick up some traxxas clutch shoes at the hobby store which should help the really bad take off engaugement.


thanks

dominicevans

12mm hex wheels...like jato, rustler and other 1/10 scale trucks wheels and rims and the volcano...REARS ONLY
I don't think the traxxas clutch shoes would work but not sure

rclynx

Pretty much any of the open gears...............works pretty good but nothing is perfect [&o]
