May be a broken clutch spring. Springs keep the clutch shoes from engaging.

Try putting the rc on a block of wood with tires off the ground. Start it and use the brake.

If car dies, it''s probably a broken spring.

hey i got a volcano sv and was wondering if anyone had tried or made a reverse kit for this rc because every time i crash into something i have to walk over there and push it over. i know i could just no crash into anything anymore

ehroof

sorry bro, there is no way to make a reverse with that transmission, reverse is not its all cracked up to be, always a problem, stripped gears and such. Beautiful day in NY today huh, its about time!!!!

helloo guys I m new to nitro rcs.. I have been into electric for a while.....
I got a volcano sv pro and I m not sure wich glow plug would work best.... its still on the mail but I heard one glow plug might not be enough for break in and I should have some extra because break in is hard on the glow plug.... thanks....

ehroof

os a3 is the plug i prefer, least expensive and works great

racemaxx24

Thet are very hard on plugs. The guy at hobbytown said one is enough but I bought three extra. Between breakin and 5 runs, I have went through four plugs, but its geting better. By the way, have u heard anything about hobbytown stocking redcat stuff ehroof[or himotoracingusa[)]]

Gelo_USA

damn fast!!!
lol thanks... sorry about the PM... I wrote it and by the time I was done I came to check the forum and had the answer already....
thanks alot... I m buying them now hope to get them by friday...

do u really think I need more for the break in or I can get by with one while the others arrive in the mail????

ehroof

it really depends, its always good to have a few on hand, they can go at anytime.

Gelo_USA

my lhs doesnt have OS a3... they told me they have os 8... I will get from towerhobbies and hope I get it by friday....

racemaxx24

The 1 should last u a majority of break in but I use two just because it help the breakin since u have to idle so much.

ehroof

I have heard about it but everyone says they dont see them, i think redcat is the best to answer this question.

ehroof

8 is to cold of a plug, you want a hot plug, maybe they carry another brand in a hot plug.

racemaxx24

I thought the o.s. 8 was a hot plug. Thats what I ran in my duratrax and hot was the only thing it would that it would even dare start and run on

ehroof

the 8 is a med/hot plug, it will work but your better off with a hot plug: http://www.osengines.com/accys/glowplugs.html

Gelo_USA

are the plugs standard sizes??
I will get it on towerhobbies about 3 than after I get the car will be easyer to look for plugs on the lfs cause I will have one in hand... the guys at the lhs here dnt knw much....
thnks for the helppp... I will be sure to stop by more times... best forum I found for redcat help....
thanks..

ehroof

most standard plugs are the standard size but turbo plugs are a different size and will only work with a turbo head engine. your truck doesnt have a turbo head engine, standard head.

racemaxx24

Plugs come in three diffrent sizes- I think[sm=50_50.gif]Turbo for turbo racing heads, Standard for pretty muck every nitro engine, and long for traxxas engines and anything similar. U want the standard lenght plugs[)]

Gelo_USA

ok... another question ths bugging me...
I got an ofna fail safe... wich one is best... fail safe or throttle return spring?? or both??
also.. wich parts tend to break more easy with (normal) use.... following all the setup and adjustment instructions...
so I can have some extra

racemaxx24

Defentaley have some control arms[upper and lower] on hand and maybe a shock tower or two. Or just get aluminum parts and be done with it. And a failsafe and a return spring are both a good idea. The failsafe will return the throttle to idle if battery power runs low and the return spring brings it back to idle if the signal is lost

Gelo_USA

just paid for the glow plugs... I think I got a nice deall... os a3 6 for 38$ second day shipping... will have it by friday when my truck arrives....
