how do you adjust the ride height on the tornado?

zeen420

want to know the same thing ^^^

ehroof

you really cant adjust that too much, there are little nubs on the chassis that stop the arm from moving too low.

are these decent radio's that i could use for my bb? kinda the best deal i could find with servo's etc [8D]

ehroof

they are decent, i have a couple of them.

zeen420

Right on, ty

dominicevans

u can adjust the position of the shocks on the shock tower this changes the height a bit if u haven't already done this

well... got some cash together.. going to go get some fuel, air filter oil,after run oil, etc.. so i decided to start to look over everything on my buggy.. so I took off the top plate, checked the gear mesh, everything underneath there, locktite'in all metal to metal screws.. noticed that the servo, reciver wire ran underneath the battery box and was pinching them pretty good, and now had to make some new holes in the battery box for the wires to run thru and not catch on anything..still trying to get that sorted out, but the main problem is.. i did pay alot of attention when i was taking all the screws out.. but obviously forget where half of them go, so went to look at the manual for some reference and... nothing... anywhere I can find a pic that shows which screws go where?

OH BOY, lol

The best help i can give is to say that metal to metal screws have a fine thread, metal to plastic has a coarse thread.

rc rock

are the skrews that hold the trans down suposed to me locktited?

ehroof

only use BLUE locktite on screws that go into metal, not plastic

Macanan

The only metal to metal screws are the 4 that bolt the motor in, One that screws in the center right front corner of the top plate to the steering arm, the rest are metal to plastic screws which the 2 longest ones is what bolts down the handle on the top plate.

zeen420

my cousin has a volcano stx and cant seem to get the engine tuned right. For some reason the idle speed is to high and we have tried to lower it but the wheels seem to keep on spining. and when we set it on the ground it still moves and then goes dead does that mean the lowspeed needle is too rich?

Macanan

That means your clutch spring is broke more then likely

jrags

does any one know

ehroof

that means the idle is too high or the clutch spring needs to be changed, get an upgraded clutch setup: http://www.clermontmotorsports.com/s...-spring/Detail

easy way to check is put it on a block and start it up, if it starts and the wheels spin and you put it on the ground and it stalls, its the spring.

jrags

but my other buddy has the same problem and the same car could the clutch spring be broken in that one too

Macanan

This Video will explane it.
