I just think you got scared the past two weeks with some fast guys there so you think you need a faster motor
I see that HOME track advantage getting a little smaller! LOL

RE: Redcats Monsoon Thread
Also I spoke to benny today and he said you guys were messing with him about getting rid of his truck. I let him drive my monsoon with the new motor and big bore shocks and he is now going to buy a Monsoon!!! Just kidding. He did like it though the way I have it. Was real surprised.

He said both of you were doing good. Said you guys ran like 2 tanks through running each other and he did not have to go out and flip. Heard billy wants to get rid of his buggy real cheap too?

Do a search on engine break in and tuning a engine after break in. Take your time and be patient and methodical...also learn about nitro fuel and its properties and nitro engine care.
Also get in the habit of checking for screws or nuts and bolts backing out due to vibration. If you are just starting out in rc, I would recommend driving around on ashphalt for the first bit until you get used to the car and if you ever have screws fall out, you have a better chance of retrieving it!
Screws that screw into metal should have loctite applied to CLEAN threads and screws that screw into plastic can use a little super glue. Loctite is not to be used on plastic as it reacts with the plastic and makes it brittle.
Its the basics really that should be covered by the hobbyist so there are no hidden surprises.

No blue loctight on plastic? Sounds like everyone RC manual better have a reprint they all recommend loctight on many metal screws to plastic parts..

RE: Initial Impressions of MONSOON truggy.
Well, just upgraded my brakes on my monsoon from 2 disc brakes to 4 disc brakes. Just like the lot more expensive truggies!! Everything just bolted right up 100%. All you need is the disc brake assembly from redcat, PART #81028. It comes with 4 rotors and 8 brake pads. All you have to get extra are 4 longer bolts that hold down the assembly to the diff, about a 1/4" longer. Looks awesome don't you think[8D]

RE: Redcats Monsoon Thread
Like I always say, this truggies got potential with some tuning. I am still waiting for all my royalties to come in after they start selling the monsoon with all the stuff I have done with it. LOL Any applications REDCAT??
