RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

thats should be enough, check the clutch bell to make sure its steel not aluminum, put a magnet on it to see if it sticks, if it does its steel and good, if not its aluminum and should be replaced.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

my manual for my car says 2 and a half for break in setting. dose it matter???

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

the richer the better, cant hurt to have too much oil, just need to lean it in a little if it wont stay running.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

Well my 30 day warranty just ran out on my new Redcat LCD FM transmitter and wouldnt ya know, its not working anymore. I was so happy to buy an rc so inexspensive, but now I understand why. It will only work if the antenna's are about 5 inches away or it makes the servos all jumpy and erradic. If I hold it a couple of feet away it doesnt do anything. And yes, brand new batteries all around and antenna is tight. If your buying a pro model with new lcd radio, plan on getting a new radio package. I've ordered a Futaba 3PM and it comes a 1 year warranty. Dont get me wrong the car is great, very fast and jumps great. Redcat obviously knows thier radio's are junk or they would have a longer warranty. If you buy one use it a lot in the first 30 days so you will have time to replace it when it breaks. I feel like Redcat is a lot like Kia and Hyundai, at first they were junk with slow improvement over the years. Lets hope they can step up to the ranks of the big boys.:D

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

all rtr radios are not the best, most rc manufacturers dont give any warranty on the radio system, if it breaks a week after you bought it, your beat.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

so ehroof you said that if a magnet sticks to the clutch i should be ok. well the magnet doesn't stick (its a weak magnet) but i'm not sure if its steel or not.
it's the 2007 version with the chrome weels and all.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

you mean the clutch bell, not the clutch shoes right? I am suprised, it should stick, i am pretty sure all the newer models have steel clutch bells, make sure your magnet sticks to something else that is steel.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

ok it's steel. the magnet wasn't strong enough
i'd hate to have to buy a clutch bell, were i live rc's aren't cheap
clutch bell is about $50

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

where do you live?

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

forget that question, I see your in the mediteranian.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

i live in cyprus. an island near greece. second most expensive country to live in in the world!!
i'm from the states so i order my stuff.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

its beautiful there, you should become a hobby dealer there if you can sell clutch bells for $50

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

yea but if you think about that it doesn't sound that good if you consider that everything is more expensive(although there are a lot of hobbyist).
ex: just paid $21 for 12 alkaline batterys seemed extremely reasonable
(plus i'm just 14)
here is the link to the rc car club here http://www.nitro.com.cy which is also the hobby dealer...
(actualy the clutch bell is $39.99)
just gave them a call

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

Does anyone know if the sh.18 carb will fit on an infinity .18 engine?
