i bought a 2 hand tornado and the screw on the carb was played with so how can i get back the factory settings?
the engine runs too fast could it be becaus of that screw?

anybody have problems with their muffler melting...i had to drill a hole through the baffle..it really barks now.

yup///could be ur throttle trim too...set idle screw to 1 mm open by looking in the throat of the carb...high end needle should be around 2 1/2 and low should be flush.(approx 2 to 2 1/2...should get ya runnin and adjust from there....

I just received hpi roto start and back plate (also battery and charger),glow plugs, fuel tubing, after run oil, air filter oil (1 case, they made an accident:D), and tie straps. So I charge up everything and started her up then i had problems keeping her running but anyways i got it running so i went for a run but I just couldn't get the gears to mesh properly so it resulted in me stripping the 1st gear.[:@]
so what exactly do i need?

Save yourself lots of time and money and swap to the one speed set-up.. Won't go through gears near as often. And yes I know it's slower but it will save tons.

yeah i switched to the one speed and 13 tooth clutch bell because im gonna race it on a small track and it has crazy acceleration. i have a Snap-on brand temp gun and a cheap one and they both do the same, no difference

dominicevans 03-02-2008 11:05 AM

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 
hmm...i think i might just have to switch to the 1 speed..anyways is there a kit that i can get with every thing i need?

Macanan 03-02-2008 11:39 AM

Yes there is BUT I think everyone is out of them right now.

and which screws are the ones that hold the engine mounts to the chassis ?

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 
My steering servo saver is worn out, probably because the bigger tires and lower gearing. Anyone know of one that works and holds up better?
