my friend has finally wanted to make the switch to nitro and he wants to get a redcat 1/10 that is good on dirt and street and under 250. he wants to get the tornado bb but i told him id ask here first so ya wat should he get thanks

if he plans on running on grass I would say the volcano....the tornado doesnt have the diameter of tires for it, it slowes them down alot...if I was going to recomend a redcat to a friend it would be the hurricane...I know you said 1/10th, but 1/10ths are nowere near as durable...and I know its more then $250 but its worth it in the long run. he would spend alot less time working on the hurricane then any of the redcat 1/10ths...its a solid buggy, very good basher

ya if he can spend the money go with the 1/8th, but if he doesnt wanna spend that much get the volcano s-30, ive seen em go for pretty cheap, like 200 i think

ya well the tornado bb is like 189 and is a buggy and those are good on tracks and pavement so ya.but i think he really likes the tornado and the volcano kinda looks weird.

haha i dont think it looks weird, but trust me it doesnt do well in grass, i had mine tuned perfectly and then i would drive in the grass and it would bog and die at full throttle. so if you dont have rough terrain then go with the buggy, like if its just pavement and the track or packed dirt. but if its grass too and rocky terrain then go with the truck.

I ran my hurricane on pavement, dirt, and grass also. Have to agree the grass was a bit sluggish but that was to be expected. This made a great street performer with versatility of on and off road ability. Simply a tire change and shock adjustment and let the big dog eat!

k cool wat is a better engine a sh.28 or an xtm .21

firebird78

buy the hurricane rtr....it will come with a sh.28......play around with it...when you want more power throw in the xtm 457 6 port piston/sleeve in the sh.28 and you will have more power. Dennis (chubbysdad) is the one who told me about it....I wont run a sh.28 without it now

could i do that with the monsoon

firebird78

yup...your looking at around $60 for a piston sleeve...but worth every penny in my books

scrambles12

could u put a 8port sleeve in there

firebird78

not that I know of....If it wasnt for Dennis (chubbysdad) I wouldnt have known about the xtm sleeve.. as far as I know thats the only swapping you can do...but I dont know for sure...I just know this works and it makes the sh.28 p3 rumble...
