sorry about that i have the tornado xp

clermont has it as 2051, the front and back look the same. i would email them before you order it though. i would make sure it comes with the gears(if you need them)

they dont come with the gears as i found out i ordered 2 geasr boxes 2051 after my front one melted assuming they come with gears but know i had to clean and regrease old gears to put in new housing '
here is post on melting gear box http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4161760/tm.htm

i guess you had a bad bearing, looks like it melted the plastic, these dont have sealed bearings so they do need to be greased once in a while. either your lhs has the lube in a container with a special point to get the bearings greased or i am sure tower hobbies has bearing grease. How much have you used your redcat?? How much fuel??

thank you guys i think that the box is a 2051 and i dont need gears just the housing i didnt get stopped in time and i hit my dads truck tire i busted the gear box bent the shockproof bar broke the steering arm and door type mount but it was a blast its way too fast for me

ehroof well i was really wondering what might have caused that now i know thanks -anyways ive put about a gallon and a half through it use it almost everyday this hobby is to much fun not to. but how often should you lube the bearings??? where might i find some sealed bearings see im fairly new to hobby about 6 months and learning everyday.[sm=thumbup.gif]

Buy some HPI MT2 door holders and steering arms , just change out some bearings, drill some holes in the new parts and you got it in aluminum. Working on lower front arms

i would grease the bearings every 1/2 to 3/4 gallon fuel, also depends on where your running, dirt, street etc. Its always good to break your rc down every once in a while, make sure things are greased, oiled, bolts and screws are tight. These are like real cars and need maintaince too.

Wow, i am very suprised to hear it, i have ordered from him several time, anything that comes from him directly took about 3-5 day tops, if he didnt have it and it came from recat it took over a week.

bluecaka69

that is weird cause i ordered from him and got my order in 3 days hes in florida and im in montana pretty long ride and still got in 3 days but you never know with the mail they could have been held up due to almost anything

Fltlander

well i think he said he had to order parts from redcat then send them to me......duh me...lmao

My Feedback: (1)

Sorry the shipping took so long jeff, YOu ordered on sat and I sent out on tuesday. Normally I ship same or next day but tough when its on a weekend. I have been doing away with drop shipping also. I now try to have a min of 10 of each part. Next time I will have to overnight it lol..
