RE: redcat volcano upgrades
usually its the other way around, torque pipes are shorter than rpm pipes, they are longer. i dont think moving the pipe away from the header will make any real difference, changing the pipe will.

RE: redcat volcano upgrades
I HAVE A HIMOTO ELDORDA. IT IS JUST LIKE A REDCAT VOLCANO. I JUST PUT ALL ALUMINUM TIE RODS IN FRONT AND REAR.THE WHEELS ARE STRIGHT BUT WHEN I USE THE REMOTE CONTROLL TO TURN THE WHEELS IT WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO ONE SIDE BUT NOT THE OTHER AND WHEN I LET GO OF THE REMOTE THE WHEELS WILL NOT CENTER. HOW DO I ADJUST THE SERVO LINKAGE I KNOW I NEED TO ADJUST THE TIE RODS BUT I NEED THE WHEELS TO CENTER FIRST I THINK. AND HOW THE HECK DO I GET THIS THING TO DO WHEELIES

RE: redcat volcano upgrades
i got a problem i am putting traxxas t max rims on a redcat volcano. the wheel lock will go on the front side of the rim anybody no a super tuff epoxy that is very strong

RE: redcat volcano upgrades
it wont work, the redcat ones are too small, you need to get 14mm hex's. epoxy wont hold them in place. i am not even sure if the traxxas 14mm hex's will work, i think the cut out for the pin is too deep.

RE: redcat volcano upgrades
You mean make them out of metal or something. If so there are some places on the net that you can buy them, I've made a few sets of rims on my metal lathe, but let me tell you something, the metal rims are WAY HIGH dollar. Your better off just finding some 2.8 rims on the net.
Like these are 2.8 rims and tires.
