It's a good truck, the motor is good. You can get parts from here. look under Redcat Racing to find your truck it's a Redcat Earthquake. [link=http://www.allaboutfunhobbies.com]www.allaboutfunhobbies.com[/link]

You can get parts from www.allaboutfunhobbies.com Just make sure that you look at the earthqauke parts because that is the same vehicle that you have bought. Another good thing is to ask as many questions here that you can. Someone will help.

can i put an roto start in this truck?

which one?

{GBI}Harryball

Should be able to, its an SH .21 motor, im sure that allaboutfun will have something for you. Also i think that the TITAN may be like the avalanche not the earthquake.

nitro61

why do u say that

{GBI}Harryball

Me?

nitro61

dude mine will not stay crank i put gas in the carb it cranks for a sec then dies HeLp

AllAboutFunHobbies

does the fuel move thorugh the fuel line when it starts up?

nitro61

there is fuel in the line when it cranks but idk know if it kepts travling to the carb

AllAboutFunHobbies

Ya have to make sure it makes it all the way tot he carb. YOu may have either a leak in the exhaust sytem or a leak in the fuel tank cap. Also make sure you didn't lean the highspeed needle so much that you cut the flow of fuel off to the engine.

nitro61

you know what ur talking about it was to lean i had it 2 turns out were it needed to be 4

AllAboutFunHobbies

4 is alot, I be thinking maybe 3 turns out total at max on the high speed. Ya might actually be making up for a bad lowspeed setting now. Not sure though if it's running good and the temps are in range then what the heck run it like that as long as it's not spitting tons fuel out of the exhaust stinger or over heating you should be good

nitro61

ok,uhh my cuz crashed it today and the front 2 wheels lock up when you try to roll it

hey guys sorry to bud in but just wondering i orderd a titan 1/8 scale rc truck and ive buin reading abaut this after run oil. wats it 4 ? and can u guys give me some pointers on were to put it wen i get mu truck. im a beginer wen it coms to cars and truks so sry for the stupid questions

ToyDestroyer

After run oil protects the engine after it is run. You pull out the glow plug and put a few drops in the engine, then give the engine a couple turns. I don't use this every time I run the car. If I plan to run it again within the week I normally go without. I do the same thing with my planes. I am fairly new to nitro cars but I have many planes. I am sure someone else will chime in here soon with there take on after run oil. It seems every one has a different method to protect there engines. I know a guy who never uses the stuff. He swears by WD40. His engines seem to run as good as every one elses.

{GBI}Harryball

Use WD40 its cheap and does the job, all afterrun oil is is tranny fluid. You could use that as well. Nitro when it evaporates can leave moisture behind thats why you need afterrun. If you run your vehilce every day you really do not need to bother, but if you run once a week, i would use it. Toydestroyer is right everyone has an opinion on this subject. The bottom line of the whole matter is to displace moisture. If you can displace moisture without leaving any crap behind you will be all good.

hey thanks dude u guys are all great help i dont know what i would do withaut u guys.

{GBI}Harryball

Kewl, glad we could help.

nitro61

jony gallo

nitro61

ok,on the piston there will be like little chips off i guess u say and if that is there u need a new piston and sleve. how long have you had it anyway, b/c u should not have replace it like every year or not even that much

jony gallo
