Hi tech is the best way to go, The programable hitech with the Karbonyte gears is a killer servo, I have one on my Hurricane and it kicks butt.

futaba s3305 is great, i have it in my hurricane and its real strong. 35 bucks
or you can buy the 10$ one it works ok for a tornado, i used it for a while.
i also have a hi tect with the karbonite gears also both are good. 35 bucks should be the most you should have to pay.

I got this setup. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXASX3**&P=7 So far, it works great. It's accurate and seems to have a good range. Check others that are similar, they may have a hi torque servo combo as well. My radios stunk and these really helped. No more of the quivering servos or inaccurate trim. Not bad for $50.00 bucks.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
I got a question on tires. Im going to the beach in about a month and I need a good suggestion on tires for the sand. Somthing that might grab better than the stock ones that come on it.
P.S. Just got my BB a week ago and it kicks butt..My Bro-n-law had a revo and he is jealous that mine keeps up with his..hahaha

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
shock clips and they are to make the suspension stiffer, you slip them in above the spring, between the top spring holder and the top of the shock.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
ehroof, I got a question for you. I got the o.s.18cv-rx engine but it doesn't look like it will work. The shaft is to short so I can't put the flywheel on. Is there a threaded flywheel or how do i make this fit? Any help at all would be great.

Here is a good motor that is faster than the stock one it is a direct fit just unbolt the stock one and put this one in.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
I found out I needed a different crankshaft than the one that came on it. Another $40 dollars for a part I wouldn't need if people would just check what they are posting. So to all who want an O.S. engine go with the straight cv-rx not cv-rx(s). Thanks for the waste of money zack.

For a little more top end speed, will the 18T and 23T pinions work in the two-speed tranny? In stock form, my Tornado tops out at 48 mph.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
I got a question on the Tornado Shocks. Do they both have the alluminum cap on the bottom of them. If so then I busted on. Can someone help me on this. I just dont want to buy another pair if I dont need to.
