sounds like it may be running rich or somehow your drive train is binding up when its on the ground and not when its in the air.

the single speed is exactly the same as the 2 speeds, dont need to change anything except a single speed clutch bell.

you may have gotten the short crank, you need the standard crank. i dont think you can get a longer pilot shaft, i wouldnt even know what shaft to say to use and to buy a standard crank, its expensive.

man that all sounds bad. Iv got everything taken apart now i bought some "sealed" bearings from the hobby store and there all full of dirt now. Im getting really tired of fixing this thing. Im going to try to get some boca bearings for it at least i know there really sealed. I just dont know what to do with it anymore maybe i have to just leave it sit for awhile to give me time to cool off lol. Im even getting lots of dirt and water in the reciever box that sucks. Even my diffs are getting full of dirt. I just cleaned them 5 tanks ago and there full. I think I might sell it or just hotrod it to make everting work the way I want it to. Is there anybody that makes a bearing kit for these?

ehroof

not really, get boca bearing for sure. how are you getting water and dirt all over, lol? where are you running?

The Volcano takes a 2.2 tire size. What size should I be looking for, for the tsunami?

ehroof

they are both actually 2.8 not 2.2 rims.

Kodiac400

So when I'm looking for tires and rims what should I be looking for. 2.8 rims with 12 hex nut?

Kodiac400

What is the tire size I'd need. Ehroof you make reference to Proline Gladiator tires what size are they?

ehroof

you can use 2.2's with 12 mm hex or 2.8 with 12mm hex, i just meant the stock rims size is 2.8. you can use rustler rears (2.2) or jato rears (2.8). there are alot of options with 2.2's, alot more than 2.8's. The wider the offset the better, meaning the more twards the inside of the rim the mount, the better, it makes the stance wider and keeps the rim away from suspension parts, i have to do a little plastic widdleing to get the rustler rears to fit my volcano.

2.2's are a lot more durable and don't crack as easily.

I got dirt and water in them because it snowed today and i was driving it on a ball diamond and grass. I think im done driving it this year snow is here to stay soon. Do the boca bearings keepo some moisture out? Have you ever had a problem with dirt getting into your diffs?

ehroof

in severe driving you can get dirt in them, the bearings will keep out dirt and some moisture but i would suggest not running in water or snow that often.

eminentguitar

ok ill keep it dry from now on lol that means 6 months of looking at it.

Whats a good way to tell if your engine has good compression?

ehroof

when cold you can hold it in the air by the pullstart or it will drop slowly, if it drops faily quickly, the comression is low.

eminentguitar

ok i can hang it there for hours and its still there. Whit boca bearings are the best for off road?

ehroof

sealed

My Feedback: (1)

the green seal or the ceramic but the ceramic are expensive.

eminentguitar

ok what are the metric dementions for the bigger bearings in the wheel hub?

eminentguitar

I had the teflon sealed bearings in my tsunami but they only lasted for 5 tanks and there all full of dirt now are the green seal better than the standard teflon sealed?

eminentguitar

have you heard of vxb bearings?

pede_187

Do you mean VXL?

eminentguitar

no i found some on ebay that i can afford and there vxb i think im going to stay away from them

eminentguitar

does anybody know what the bigger wheel bearing size is on the tsunami i know the outside ones are 5x10x4 but what are the other ones on the inside?

eminentguitar

ehroof
