What size are the front and rear dogbones going to the tires ? you go to parts on redcat's site and there's 4 different dogbone sizes.
Would it be the front size is 84mm and the rear 87mm ?

Transmission shaft 76mm Qty 2
Dogbone 61mm qty 2
Dogbones 87mm qty 2
Dogbones 84mm qty 2 (IF out of stock order 06022)

And on http://www.clermontmotorsports.com site there's

Transmissioin shaft 80MM*2PCS
Transmission Shaft Qty 2 70mm
Universal lever 55mm*2pcs

So there is now 7 different sizes for this buggy ? OKAY[sm=75_75.gif]

hey eddie i ordered my parts for the avalanche today. what was you saying that i can start it without taking the body off? how was that? and what do i need to do if it dies when it idles for a while? does that mean it is to lean and i need to richen it up? thanks man. cant wait to get my parts. dennis said they will go out first thing tomorrow morning. hopefully i will have them by saturday, hope your wife is doing good and you. oh and i like that electric tornado, looks fast. and your son can control that thing good lol.

you will get um friday/sat. They are going out first thing this morning.

ehroof

you may be running to rich so the carb loads up with fuel and the engine dies but if its running good and it dies when the idle sits for a long time then dont worry. I just raised the body post on my avalanche all the way up so i can start it from the rear wheel well. You will get your parts fast, dennis has really fast shipping.

yeah uhhhhh.............. help me please!

ehroof

They should just pop off the ball, if there is a screw, just take the screw out, pull the ball off and change

gokartingbob455

so pop the ball of and then unscrew the screw?

ehroof

or unscrew the screw and pop the ball off

i have been having a problem with my tornado. it seems to want to bog out when it gets to higher revs. i have about 6 tank though it. i have the needles at factory setings for breakin it in(2.5 on high and flush on the low). any sugestions

ehroof

try to lean it (1/8 turn clockwise) drive it for about 30 second and see if it get better, if not do it again. see if it gets better. if it seems to get worse, do it in the opposite direction and see if it gets better that way. this is for the high needle.

gokartingbob455

im always confused on this: are you supposed to change the highspeed needle settings while the engine is running or not? i see pro guys at my local hobby shop do it. so if you could clear that up for me i will be mr. happy.

ehroof

yes, you tune while running

Does anyone know if the sh.18 carb will fit on an infinity .18 engine?

hi, is it possible to make the tornado antagonize 1/10 on road cars?
could you maybe suggest some upgrades to make it better on road?
(tires, engines, pipes, clutch systems, clutch bells, etc)
thx in advance

ehroof

just put onroad tires, touring rims and tires will bolt right on, 12mm hex

rc rock

hey... is there anyway to check the gear mesh without taking the buggy apart?(if there isn't what has to come off in order to check the mesh?)

Macanan

to check mesh

ehroof

i honstly dont know but i remember reading that it wont fit.

ehroof

you can just put a finger on the clutch bell and one on the spur and wiggle them back and forth, keep one tight, there should be a little play, very little and the car should roll freely front and back.

Okay, I wanted more ground clearance and in a couple days my tornado will have a 2.2 beadlock wheels and proline dirt works tires, all off-road and grass. Right now I have stock gearing and I am probably going to bump the clutch bell down to a 13 tooth.

Question: Will any HPI 13 T clutch bell work or do i need to get one that is specifically for my buggy/engine? There is a pretty sturdy looking one on tower hobbies but the site doesn't really give anymore info than the material it is made of and the height and diameter dims.

also will I need new bearings?

ehroof

it cant hurt to get bearing for the clutch bell, i think all hpi clutch bells will fit.
