Avalanche - Monsoon
I bought a RedCat Avalanche off of Ebay about 2 weeks ago for $300 + all the extras. The seller sent me a Monsoon by accident and told me a few days ago the they would send me tires, wheels, shell and that would make it an Avalanche. IS THAT ALL that makes the two different? Well anyways I told them in the email that it would be fine and I would send the Monsoon wing, tires, wheels back to them. I could have sent the Monsoon back and have them send me the Avalanche but that would be about $70 for shipping and just dont have the desire to spend cash like that for a mistake a ebay seller makes.
also Loctite or Super glue on screws? or are they both the same? I've never used or heard of Loctite until i got into the hobby..
Peace!

RE: Avalanche - Monsoon
Do not use super glue on the metal to metal screws. Go to your local hardware store and get some blue (not red) thread locker. It doesn't have to be loctite, it just has to be blue thread locker. Do you have to send back the wing and wheels back to them? I'd keep them if possible. Be sure to thread lock all your metal to metal screws, set your gear mesh, and break it in properly.

they are not the same vehicle. Yes same motor and same pipe and do have some similiar parts,but If you want a avalanche return it and get that. Just goto redcatracing.com and open up 2 pics one of each and look for yourself. They use different length a-arms and all.
