you will like it, i like mine alot. just feel the mesh, you dont have to see it, just a little play between the gears. you can fit the hump back in it, i do in all my cars.

kuppler

LMFAO!!!!!!!

zepena

Bro send me the pm too because my lightning isnt shifting to second either.

zepena

Eddie do you think you can send me the pm about the car shifting into 2nd gear because mine isnt.

ehroof

turn shift screw clockwise to make it shift at higher rpm's and counterclockwise to make it shift at lower rpm's. it really depends on what its doing, is it stuck in first or second? does it take off slow? if so it stuck in second and you can try to turn the shifter screw clockwise.

zepena

it takes off normally but it just stays in first and when it gets to the point its sopposed to shift into second it just turns off

firebird78

sorry bout that mwr..I got sidetracked..lol...wanted to try it before I posted..lol...then got busy playin with my hurricanes bro

ehroof

sounds like you need to richen the high needle a little

Well the engine on my lightining finally gave out I am gonna do the redcat engine replacement. I wanted to get the infinity motor that came with my volcano pro but I can't seem to find it one the redcat website. I looks like they have a sh .18 and a vertex .18 so I was hoping someone could make a suggestion as to which one to get thanks so much!
