RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
any suggestions
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
the stock header is too restrictive on the redcat. That header will help alot.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
ORIGINAL: frekbynature2002 The car is not that responsive to the transmitter, I changed all the batteries so could the crystals be going bad. I also can't get it to run right like before, it either sounds like its flooding or not enough fuel. I tried adjusting but I have to adjust while I'm running it, longer I run it I have to make adjustments to be able to keep running. what do you mean by not that responsive? Check and make sure the at the plugs for the servos and batteries are tight in the receiver. Maybe you have a fuel leak, check the lines, the tank cap, the base of the carb for a leak, make sure your head bolts are tight and your glow plug is good, just because it lights up doesnt mean its good. |
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
EHROOF...... would that header that you are talking about increase performance even if I had just that HPI header and stock pipe????
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
i am sure just the header would help out but a tuned pipe would make a bigger difference.
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
thank you :D
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
I only allocate so much money each week to spend on this car, and i get kind of excited wanting to just go go go but I guess i will just wait until next week and buy both together, that way I can hopefully notice a big difference.
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
get the pipe this week and the header next week. this way you sill see a difference with both
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
ahh haaa....not a bad idea! ok.. gotta go to the store now, hope they are open this early. :-)
thanks roof!! |
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
you got it bro, let me know what you think and how it worked out!!

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
hey guys i have a prob. i recently gut a tornado xp two speed and at first it ran like a bat outta hell(blew my friends cen .18 away). now after just a couple of minutes of running all power leaves and it just runs along at just over idle speed. i have watched my servo action and can see that it is moving fine while this is happening but no matter how much it moves it just keeps running at that low speed with no rev up at all. plus i have only ran about a quart of fuel total. i am kinda new to the game but i do know alot about engines in general (both 2 and 4 stroke) i am completely baffled any help would be usefull before i end up throwing it through a wall.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
in reference to the 47t tranny gear and it's bearing slot size:i had the same prob and called redcat. they told me that the gear had been reshaped by its manufacturer and that the new bearings were tied up in customs but would have them in on march 22(its now march 24) but i just used a traxxas wheel hub hex and drilled the middle to fit the original one way bearing. it works great but i still recomend buying the new ones when they clear customs

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
Are you talking to yourself???
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
no, look at the little spot where it says :in reply to.............. the second post was in response to the question about the different size bearing slot on the 47t tranny gear[:@]

If so you need to lean the needle a little. the high end needle and most likely the low end too. Have you tried to do any engine tuning yet? |
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
it actually has loads of power with a moderate amount of smoke then just goes flat and wont start afterwards
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
sounds like its overheating, if you let it sit and cool off it will start again right? do you have a temp gun? if not put some water or spit on your finger and wipe it on your cooling head, it it sizzles right away its too hot, if it evaporates in like 5 seconds your ok. your probably running it to lean.
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
i'lltry that inthe morning and get back to you thanx
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
when it stops running and you try to start it, does it feel real easy to pull, like there is no compression? If so, its overheating.
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
does anyone know what the largest redcat/himoto engine i can fit into my tornado xp i've been thinking about taking advatage of that redcat offer"send back your old motor and your new one is half price" which makes a .21 $52.50
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
i dont know if you can fit that in there, i have a .27 and was thinking of putting it in my volcano but it doesnt look like it will line up with the transmission.
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
OK

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
hello! can someone tell me where the thread is on how to replace the pull start and replace it with a different starter.
|
RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
when its all put together there may be a little wiggle to it, just a little play.
