RE: Volcano SV review?
The volcano is sweet! but yea about the avalanche i found one for $287 on E*#y The E-word!! saw that and thought well dangg thats the same as the hurricane and i would much rather have the avalanche cause where i live is rough

yeah, i would say the rustler and volcano have the same top speed around 35mph, i know traxxas says like 50mph on the nitro rustler but i own one and i dont see it happening.

we were fooling with the jato today, i got 50mph out of it today, i have a radar gun that i use, a bushnell one, its supposed to be accurate to within + or - 1mph.

Maybe there is something wrong with your rustler. The jato is similar to the rustler except it's two speed. And they're rated at 5MPH apart?

OH. The jato is a 3.3......I thought it was a 2.5. In that case....what speed could I get from an OS .18 CV-RX in a volcano?

RE: Volcano SV review?
i have a 2.5r ported and polished in the jato, its crazy fast. as far as the os, it maybe a little faster like 38-40 mph but your acceleration would be much better than stock.

Actually the 2.5R is rated at 55 and the 3.3 is 65.

sorry, i was off by 5mph, i will be more careful next time
Back to the Volcano and the Monsoon. I read that the exaust pipe on the monsoon touches the fuel tank. Is that how it is out of the box? No big deal.

Even though the monsoon is so much better......that price differnece seems so much more......like what could I get in addition to the volcano.......another 100 in parts and hop ups. I think the monsoon might actully be too big for my track. I built it and it's not that wide or big.

bro, your really fussing over this, i mean really badly, lol. start with the volcano, its smaller and less intemedating. When you feel you up to a faster, larger nitro, get the avalance or monsoon. I wouldnt really suggest starting off with a 1/8 powerhouse like the monsoon or avalanche for your first nitro.

i am not saying but them all now, start off with the volcano, use it, learn how a nitro works, tuning, and the ins and the outs, then when your ready, jump to the avalanche or monsoon, sell the volcano and put the $ twards the larger one, if you keep it in good shape you can get some decent $ for it.
