This is my tornado bb with a new chassis (which it had to be stripped down fully), new upper plate, and random little alloy parts.
one question, the upper plate can only fit a 5 cell hump pack battery (which i have) but where can you buy chargers for them? my hump pack is a venom racing 1200 mah and what are the best chargers around?
Thanks,
Will.

Would this work?

i also have a 7.2v battery quick charger.

ehroof

it will work but does your charger auto detect or can you set it up to charge reciever batteries.

willashcroft

its just got the tamiya style plug on.

willashcroft

one more question: where can you get exhaust manifold gaskets!!!???

ehroof

hpi or traxxas side mount gaskets will work or you can make your own from gasket material.

willashcroft

my dad uses cereal box cardboard for gaskets on his cars.
Would this work?

ehroof

it might, lol. i never thought about that

willashcroft

lol, or aluminium cans.

Also, the gearbox seems to be very tight when i try to spin the wheels round by the gears. when i spin it back wards, it spins. any reasons for this?

ehroof

there is a one way bearing, it catches in one direction not in the other.

willashcroft

i put it in the right way, just when the gearbox is out, it all works, but when i put it in, and roll it along, there is a lot of resistance.

ehroof

do you have the drive cups too close to the transmission case?

willashcroft

could be, im not sure. any other possible solutions?

ehroof

wheel nuts too tight

willashcroft

nope, as there is still resistance without them on.

ehroof

did you check the drive cups?

willashcroft

it was them.
thanks a lot eddie.
