that tz is a killer engine, my buddy has one in his .5 crt, its a real killer engine, too bad its rear exhaust, it would be a killer engine for the redcats. os cvrx .18 is a close second to that engine and its a direct fit http://www.clermontmotorsports.com/s...lue-11j/Detail nothing compares to it in the .18 class side exhaust.

i dont know about the crank either, may not work, i was thinking about picking one up and stick it in something. you know what they say, if there is a will there is a way, i am sure it would work on the volcano, just would need to remove one of the rear shocks, and would probably work on the tsunami with no problem. if i do decide to do it, i will let you guys know

my opinion is I will not put 300$ in a tornado for 300$ you can get an hurricane or almost 2 tornado but if you have the money and you want that , why not a tornado on two wheels will make good promotion for redcat

Wheelies on a 4 wheel RC vehicle does absolutely nothing for me. Now, wheelie on a 1:1 crotch rocket always bring a smile to my face especially if its done with the front wheel[sm=teeth_smile.gif]
I do appreciate the speed and acceleration from that video though.......If only they'd set-up a ramp

you would want a rotary carb like the one in the link. it will allow the carb to open by turning it i think the slide carb slides it left to right but thats just what i think im not sure.

I think the TZ would be to much torque on the spur gear.

a rotary carb is what you have on a stock tornado and the slide carb it what the hurricane have, both are good but rotary move slower and more precisely, the slide carb is more quick so its better for racing

you would eat spur gears left and right and maybe other gears with it and as hard as spur gears are to get sometime that wouldnt be good
