I was searching through the threads one day and found a good operating temperature with the VX .16. Cant seem to find it now anyone know, Temperature around here is 80-100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Looking to get some spare air filter foams for my Tornado BB. Anyone know the correct size. I am currently submitting an order at Tower for a clutch spring so if anyone has a quick link there that would be great. Thanks.

good, i ordered a couple before I was sure. The stock ones are 42t/47t, with the bigger clutch bell and smaller tranny gears will it be too much? I have an o.s. cv-rx engine sitting here for a little more power.

rclynx

That should work slick with the OS

I just tested my Tornado today with the upgraded pinions (18T & 23T). With the stock VX .18 engine, it topped out at 48 mph using 20% nitro. I tried leaning it out for a speed run but head temperature went over 300 so I had to back off.

I'll let you guys know how it turns out when they show up.

new question. I just swapped my engine again to the o.s.18 cv-rx but now the electric start backplate won't work. The one that fit my infinity and smartech is too small. Does anyone know of one that will fit the o.s. engine?

Well I got my Tornado yesterday. I checked and made sure that everything was tight and that the radio worked good. I got 2 tanks through it last night no problem. The thing ran great for both tanks. Its seems to want to rev up [as in the longer you run the higher the idle is] high on its own but not die. Is that normal with break in?

I was wondering about the clutch spring and shoes traxxas 4146x I was wondering if the shoes will work i Know everybody says the idle on them will be to high but still will the function or not?

they will work, the stall rate is very high, it can wear the clutch shoes out faster because of the slipping, you wont destroy anything though.

Ok hear is the deal. I was running my car on the ever so deadly street in front of my house and I ran over my feet which seems to happen everytime I run it. Well after I ran in into my feet the car didnt respond to nada. The wheels wouldnt turn the throttle wouldnt work NOTHING! Plus the idol raise up alot. So I shut it off and now im stuck. Any suggestions on what would be the issue. Servo maybe.

Thnx, Scott

ehroof

maybe the power plug popped off the reciever? or one of the plugs popped off somewere?

ehroof

i dont think they make a rotostart backplate for the os, your better off with the pullstart anyways, no need for a batter and that os should start on one or 2 pulls after you prime it.

Wadman

One of the batteries may have popped out of the holder.

rclynx

I know tiger drive makes a backing plate for it[:-]

Jeremyv1

when going from 2 speed to a one speed setup what all do you have to change

rclynx

I think its only the clutch bell and the trans..............I have gone the other way on the volcano many times and thats all there is to that[:-]

AllAboutFunHobbies

just the clutch bell and the transmission.

hey i just tryed startiBB and when i tryed it would not turn on i have the roto startand it is just not starting up i have no clue why. if you guys have a trouble shotting process i should go through to see what is my problem then please post it. need quick reply Thanxs[]

ehroof

check the glow plug, make sure it light up, take it out and put it in your ignitor, also make sure you ignitor is charged up. Put a couple of drops of fuel in the carb or turn over with your finger on the muffler tip to prime the engine before you try to start.

Jeremyv1

hey ehroof can i ask you a ? if i just change the clutch bell is it really all that needed that i change the clutchs shoes and springs to stop stripping my gears cause i decided to keep the 2 gear setup and i dont want to keep going through gears

TheSpeedytiger

thanks for the reply ehroof but it wasent ny thing you said i found out that there was a gap caused by tighting the screws on the head for the engine one by one and them really tight and it caused a gap so when i was doing an inspection of the car and checking the things you said to and i saw nitro fuel all over the engine and so i cranked it up and sure enough out came fuel. so i retightened everything and i checked everything and started it up and it runs great now and thanks for the help.[8D]

unfortunatlyi have a new problem this time a easy problem to fix. i was showing off all my nitro vehicles to my little cousins who came down to visit and i put out a kicker ramp and ramped it off the ramp at like 30-35mph and BOOM it hit the ground the wrong way and the wheel went flying and off came most the left front arm so now i have to fix or buy the parts i cant fix to get this thing running good again. so again thanks again for the help.

after that i went to homedepot bought the nut and fixed the wheel axle now its running good again.[8D]
