RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

does it mater what threadlock i use?
what kind of skrewdriver do u use for your trans?(please post a link to one )
thx a lot

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

blue thread lock, not the red. red is permanent.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

well thnx but i was talking about the brand,,,,this is what i'm planing to use:
HPI Thread Lock
For use on metal-to-metal fixings
Helps avoid the loosening of bolts & screws

also am i supposed to cut a hole in the front off the car body?
thanx again

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

that thread lock is fine and yes, if its a nitro, a cut out helps keep the engine cool

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

make the hole around your fuel tank so you can fill your car up with out having to take the body off

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread

hey how do u adjust when the gears change?
what do u use?

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

2 speed shifter on the trans, there are 2 grub screws on it, one keeps it on the shaft, the other adjusts the shift time. Clockwise makes it shift at higher rpms and counterclockwise makes it shift at lower rpms.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

[X(][X(]I was cleaning my tornado and noticed that im missing a grub screw on the shifter,im like "no wonder my tornado would shift when its going like 35mph".

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
 

yea but how do u turn the grub skrews?(allen key?)

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
