I stayed in upstate ny today, it was such a nice day and played all day with my son. We had the Volcano, Tornado XP, and traxxas Jato.

1. By the third tank of fuel the gears stripped(big gear of throttle and small gear of throttle anybody know the part #'s?????) dont know why, wasn't really bashing just trying to adjust the shifting point, the engine was straight and square, no rocks etc. in the gears. Any ideas???? I was driving on and off road, stripped while driving off road on grass.

2. Jato ran good, hard to control since has big power and 2 wheel drive, flips often, suprising since low and wide. by the 5th tank, steering was binding, dont know why yet, put it in the car next to the tornado.

3. Volcano, no problems, pretty stable, handles good, kept up with jato off road since it handles better(4wd). Ran 7 tanks and still runs as good as the first, i really love this truck and so does my son.

I found myself asking why did i but the jato, should have bought the revo, yeah its fast but off road its kinda worthless and the tires ran out 123(on my second set going for my third)

As for the tornado xp this has been a problem out of the box, radio glitches(needs new transmitter works fine with another), clutch spring broke, very hard to make shift correctly, instruction say nothing about this, just know from my other cars. Now the gears stripping. The pull start broke before the first tank of gas(able to get rotostart cheaper than redcats pull start, already had the wand).

My .02 Volcano is worth every nickle, great, no parts needed yet and have ran at least 25-30 tanks thru it, engine still has plenty of compression too.
