RE: LIGHTING VX
 

I bought a lighting vx and i love it i cant wait for the hop ups jenni from redcat racing said aluminium parts should be available by the end of feb. so i look foward to it

another thing does anyone know how to get better turn radius on the lighting maybe a step by step instruction on how to do it?

RE: LIGHTING VX
 

What does everyone think about the Redcat Lighting VX ??????

RE: LIGHTING VX
 

There is a little small dial that is under the throttle and steering trim. Make sure this is turned all the way up.

RE: LIGHTING VX
 

Hey thank you, i was wondering what that was i didnt want to mess with it cause there was no instruction on it included in the box so i thought i would keep it default but man what a differance i think ill be able to run a course now. good looking out bro!

RE: LIGHTING VX
 

I was wondering if there it is possible to put off road tires on the lighting vx maybe tires from the tornado?? i want to convert it to like a rally kinda off road car. i would like to run it on flat dirt with like 10-20 degree jumps

RE: "OFFICIAL" Redcat Lighting VX Thread
 

Ok, got a Vx in the beginning of Jan. Three tanks later, both middle gears chewed to uselesness... anyone else have this problem? After I got it running the first time, I liked the motor and chassis, but..... I wonder if this is an engineering prob or just an isolated problem?

RE: "OFFICIAL" Redcat Lighting VX Thread
 

so the teeth look totally chewed? the reason i ask is cause i ran my redcat took a little slam and it push the engine off a little and shaved down the first gear but i just set it back on track lined the gears on the enignie gear a lil oil torqued the screws down under the motor mounts and has drove go ever sense i run it pretty hard to.

RE: "OFFICIAL" Redcat Lighting VX Thread
 

hey chrisj480 just wanted to know what kind of aluminum parts they are going to have i hope they' er door type mounts, and steering knuckles:)

RE: "OFFICIAL" Redcat Lighting VX Thread
 

i got a VX and its awsome. the gears striping is common. but i had a question i dont think anybody has asked with any car/buggy/
is it possible to make it pausy traction.??

RE: "OFFICIAL" Redcat Lighting VX Thread
 

Whats that? Sounds cool.

RE: "OFFICIAL" Redcat Lighting VX Thread
 

pausy trackion is were equal amount of power sent to both wheels. and nex i guess you can make it pausy just lock up the diff with jb weld

RE: "OFFICIAL" Redcat Lighting VX Thread
 

PosiTrac is a 1:1 car clutched limited slip differential. it does in no way guarantee equal power being sent to both wheels, it just helps distribute it more evenly. locking the diff is a BAD IDEA. your car will handle terribly, and if you tag a curb with a rear tire, your other tire can't spin to make up for the one being impacted not being able to spin, so you'll break drivetrain parts.

get some silicone diff fluid and fill your rear differential with 3,000 wt and front diff with 7,000 wt fluid-you'll be happy you did;)

The wing helps allot.

RE: "OFFICIAL" Redcat Lighting VX Thread
 

Hello i was thinking of getting the Lighting and noticed that a couple of you were getting the vx18 motor. I was wondering when i go to the redcat site i dont see that you have that option, so where did you get it or is it a different brand? If it was a different brand what is a good switch that you have seen? Thanks

[link]http://www.clermontmotorsports.com[/link] He may have an .18 engine in stock. Maybe even free shipping yet!:D I don't think he has any other Lightning parts in stock though.

RE: "OFFICIAL" Redcat Lighting VX Thread
 

cu i dont even see any section for the lightning only truck and buggy stuff

RE: "OFFICIAL" Redcat Lighting VX Thread
 

The .18 engine will fit any of the 1/10 scale cars. So if you click the buggy or truck links you'll find the engine.
