Glad to have you on our forums.

(Sux you had to buy your brother one too, but at least you guys got a good laugh!)

Hi, this is my first post here on the RCU and I have owned a volcano since May 20th.I know this off subject and I don't know if it's been answered(coudn't find it in the forums)but will the HPI RS4 MT tuned pipe work with my VX-18 or would you recommend something else.

Hey guys.. I'm back but not too often.. Been in the hospital for a while now but back home.. I get pretty weak and It's hard for me even to sit here at the desk to type and keep consentration.. I need to sell this new machine and get me a laptop so i can at least check on more often from bed.. But take care and keep on trucking

That pipe will work but its about the same as the stock volcano pipe.


I just ordered one of these for my spare valcano:

(Sorry to here your not doing so well entity,we all look forward to you posting agian)

Hi there Folks !! Chubby you are absolutely right !!! the guy from the local shop teach me hoe to use it... and man ! I got to say: IT WORKS !!!!! The truck will go off fast as devil !!! >:-) and it is n ot that hard to set it up after you talk to someone that knows how to do it....

I´ll post some pics as soon as I have the time...

Regards,

Hey Entity !!! glad to see you back !!! and I hope you get better soon

Best Regards,

Same here, good luck with the recovery, amigo.

Thanks for the link I appreciate it.

No problem truckfreak,Let us know whut tuned pipe you pick out and how well it performs.

Glad to have you here!

what parts break most often on these trucks from jumping also has any got theres to do a flip

1 - Cluth Spring (Traxas sprign is really good and should last more)
2 - steering arms (you can upgrade those with ALUM PARTS from HPI)
3 - Rear axes holders (Still coudn't find ALUM ones ! I think Entity has them)

With time more parts will brake but I think those three are the MUST HAVE SPARE ones. :-)

Don't forget about gears! They seem to like to strip. You can remedy that with an hpi clutchbell also.

2: steering arms & door type mounts(holders)
diff gear & clutch bell have also given a couple of people problems.


Everything else bananaboat has hit the nail on the head!


(I have jumped/fliped mine costing me a steering arm when it landed,but no problems after upgrading it)

Guys... I'll insist on this one !!! Does anyone in the whole wide world knows if there is a Rear axes holder that fit on our trucks ?? specially, made of aluminium !!! or at least one that is stronger ...

Regards,

My Son did a backflip with a Volcano. With the right ramp anything can. He finally ripped up the rear diff after ALOT of jumping. The shocks blew out right away from jumping. If you're going to do alot of jumping the key is to make sure that when you land you're not hard on the brakes or gas. Either one can cause big problems.

Hey Bananaboat ! How are you busting these things?? My son twisted an axle and the rear driveshaft. I think his rear differential is finally stripping out. You seem to bust the stuff my kid can't! How's the Kyosha?

I thought people got banned from here from discussing other products?

How Are You doing?

huahuahuauhaha Chubby ... I wish I could do at least ONE really good jump !!! cause so far I never did anything that I could call a jump .... my left rear axes holder broke after a bad curve... (hehehehe) and after that I am running with a broken part fixed with super glue ! So basicly I run on soccer fields... no big NOTHING !! :-( but today, even running on that, the right one broke !!! Must be a really bad driver !!! heheeh tell your kid to give me some tips !!! :-)

The Kyosho is really cool !! no breakage's so far... and I don't think they will happen that soon ! that thing is really strong ! Tomorow I'll try to find a good place for my first jumps !! wish me luck !!!

Regards,

oh Sorry about that Entity !! that was my fault anyway.... bringing this subject to this forum !!! Wont happen again...

They won't get banned(he owns a valcano)
Besides I don't like to deleate posts!

Good luck jumping your truck/trucks bananaboat you going to take a camera?

Nice to have you back on entity!

yes I'll take a camera !!! first I need to buy some epoxy to see if I can do some real jump before I have to fix it again !! CANT WAIT TO GET THOSE PARTS !!!! ( oh yes... I am still with only rear traction !!! uahhuauha really fun !

If I make small videos .... is there a place to post them here ?

regards,

Sure is heres the link:

Theres alot of good videos in the rcu vault & they will let you post your own[8D]

Bananaboat,
If they have them by you get yourself a small skateboard ramp. I just picked up 2 at a sale for $10. They are about 2' wide and 3' long. They launch the trucks great!



Entity,
I will take your response as you are doing OK. Ya know this forum is about Redcat first and RC cars second, at least as I see it. Both Bananaboat and I have Redcat trucks. He, like myself bought, another brand to expand our hobby intrests. I asked him a spimle question about his new RC after asking a Question about his Redcat. It's sad to me that you have to jump down my thoat so quick about the RC discussion but cannot respond to my question of your condition. I heard you were in the hospital but I see you have fully recovered.

I'll give it a try and look around ... don't even know where to look for !! hehehe

Talk to you tomorow ... hopefully with good pics/videos
