RE: sh .18 vs. vx .18.....

Yeah I don't know what that was about. I believe the Sh.18 engine is very tough. The part he is saying about going rich to lean while idling seems a little out there, but then again could be...

RE: Traxxas Shocks on Volcano S30

Yes good idea, would miss the 8 shocks though, it's apretty cool feature of it. Maintenance is part of the hobby and think it's one of the good parts of it. I've dealt with restraightening shocks and...

I don't own a Shockwave but a Volcano S30 and have replaced mine with Traxxas Talons. I don't believe the traction is better but the plastic is of a higher quality. Maybe check for something that...

RE: Which Redcat?

Yes, grass isn't an issue for most Redcat MT's. I'm a nitro guy myself and have the Volcano S30, but the Caldera sounds like the best bet.

RE: screw came lose from shockwave not sure where it goes

It should be ok but I would be more worried about leaving some fuel in the engine. Rust can occur quickly unfortunately. Also check your fuel lines to make sure that fuel inside hasn't turned to a...

RE: screw came lose from shockwave not sure where it goes

I've used smaller hex keys in that area. It's tricky and takes a while sometimes. Make sure they are of good quality, if you strip a screw it'stough to get it out. Was maybe going to mention try...

RE: screw came lose from shockwave not sure where it goes

It will cause all kinds of tuning issues if you don't get it tight. Don't use more than 1 gasket. Possibly try to spray the hole with an air compressor or can of air. Even if a few grains of sand are...

RE: tornado S30 help...I broke something?

My best situation is putting it upside down and takingall the screws out. It can be done with just the 4 screws on the tranny. It is hard to get the dogbones in place that way, but can be done. If...

RE: tornado S30 help...I broke something?

RE: Tricks and Tips to keep your Redcats running!

It is Winter here so I haven't been out at all running mine, but I'm getting antsy. One other tip that is common is paint the dogbones a bright color so when you have a wicked tumble or landing...

I plan on making the plunge and getting a new Savage X 4.6. Will most likely go for the pull-start version at my lhs. Are there any spare parts that I should immediately purchase for this truck. I'm...

RE: Tricks and Tips to keep your Redcats running!

I have the volcano S30. Something I found is that my battery pack inside my receiver box would cause the on-off switch housing to break after a hard roll or jump. I use a piece of styrofoam and mold...
