Paul I think that's great! Hopefully they'll come through and make a backplate for the non-SH engine Redcat is putting in the Backdraft and Earthquake as it appears Redcat isn't going to.

I was told by OFNA over a month ago that they were waiting for a new distributor in the US for parts, but they didn't tell me about the sale, which explains alot. Hopefully Redcat will carry a wide...

My Backdraft that came with the OS engine has the black springs with blue caps. Now the car has the SH engine so I can only give you a comparison between the engines, which IMO isn't much of a...

I'd put the HSN flush with the housing and then the LSN at 2 1/2 turns out. Be careful not to tighten the LSN too much when screwing it in before going out or you'll damage it. That should get you...

I replied to the other thread you posted in (my thread). Not much difference in performance from what I could tell. SH seemed to tune easier but it could've been me getting better at tuning. lol

I ran about 3 tanks after break in with the O.S. engine and it performed well. Didn't seem to bad to tune either but it's more temperamental to the outside temp than the SH engine. It could be that...

I've had the same issue with my older Ultra GT LX as the hex nuts are smooth on both sides. BUT, my Backdraft hex nuts are ribbed on one side which goes against the wheel. I've had those things off...

Backdraft center diff

Well, I found out the hard way that the center differential is NOT sealed on the Backdraft. I recently swapped out the grease in all 3 diff's for silicone oil, as well as all 3 in my OFNA. Last...

If your budget is $500 just for the buggy and the potential for racing later then stay away from Redcat. People on here have different opinions on what buggy to get for that amount of a budget, but...

Thanks Maj, I'll try to look for a set of shocks on ebay. If I can find a set cheap I'll upgrade, if not then a new set of bladders are in order for me. As far as the diff fluid, I'll see if it...

Got the diff fluid in and what a difference from just grease! It acts like a totally different animal, even ballooning the front tires slightly. I also put the same diff fluid in my Backdraft,...

I don't know if I'd go that far, but yes Redcat is finding it's niche in the R/C world for sure. They have a little ways to go though, but if they keep at it like OFNA did they'll do just fine.

If I ever bought a used nitro from a person I didn't know and trust, I'd have them run it until the engine warmed up. That way you could see if it held compression. Otherwise you could get it and...

Would I measure the shocks fully extended or compressed? Thanks!

I wish they had adjustable collars, but unfortunately they have spacers. I'll have to find something to measure them with in millimeters. I'll also see if my LHS has a set of springs in stock and...
