is the 16t just good for low end? or does it have good top end to?

i am not very familiure with the volcano but what is stock?

r\c justin

i think stock is rather 15t or 17t i dunno really, i just put my steel diff.. on and it is breaking the points off of it!! sadness i thought it was steel, seems to me that it has way to much carbon in it that makes it really brittel, it shouldn't have brokin teeth the 2nd tank of gas run on it. anyone know the link for the diff paper test, i put the steel on there to replace the plastic but seems like the plastic might be better!!!

The stock clutch bell is 17 tooth. The lower you go with clutch bell teeth the more bottom end you get, but you sacrafice top end, the high you go with clutch bell teeth the faster your top end gets, but you sacrafice low end power.

SO if you go down one tooth with no change to the spur gear you'll loose alot of upper end, but gain a ton of lower end and if you go up to 18 tooth you'll gain alot of top end but mark a huge lag in the first foot of lower end power, then all of a sudden, BAAMMMM your car rockets forward once it gets rolling.

i did tune it where i was getting good low end and ok high end, the 16t with the now broke fake steel spur gear. really good combo!!

will a vented clutch bell like that give better performance because of less weight it has to throw, and how much will it affect it

I put the Volcano transmission and 16tooth clutch bell on my Tsunami Ultrawide and it does make a difference in bottom in torque. As of now, my TUW has no problem performing offroad duties and it will climb a decent grade w/o any problem...but it does lack top end and really isn't very fast. But then again that's why I installed the 16tooth clutch bell and the Volcano gear reduction transmission. Oh I forgot to mention my TUW has regular 2.2" tires.

r\c justin

yea the 16t has really good lowe end, i did some tuning with the small rims and tires it goes pretty fast!! but getting my lightning today so going to put down the volcanos for a while i have one volcano that is just street and one off road, thats why i have the small tires plus i live on side of a mountain!!

Shweet!!! Have fun dude!!!

From the pics, it looks like the spur gear is shreded and missing teath?

r\c justin

sure is everyone keeps telling me that it was the wrong mesh but it was fine the first tanks then it started breaking the top of the teeth off or the point then after that all hell broke loose!!

AllAboutFunHobbies

r\c justin
