For sure man. going to the beach tomorrow, gonna try to make some speed passes and have some fun in the sand :D

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

Im so happy :) I feel like a little kid again lol I just bought a spectrum dx 3.0 The guy at the LHS told me to take a week off work just so I would be able to figure it out lol. There is so much you can do on here its nuts. Im used to my am redcat radio with only trim to adjust.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

hey thanks i turned it on later that night and the led light came on and it made the beep so i dont know what was wrong with it its perfectly fine now i would also like to know how good the redcat brushless system is compared to the mamba castle creations combo?

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

foust its possible it over heated. If it happens again check and see how hot the esc is.
I dont know anything about redcats brushless. If you find anything out please post it back for us.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

it hasnt done it since but i also have another problem on my dads tsunami ep a pin in the center dogbone that turns the four wheel drive came out so now only the rear tires spin where can we get another pin for that any one know the part number thanks

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

I dont think you'd be able to put a pin back in that would actually stay. Just replace the dog bones, they're not too expensive.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

Is a .18 SH engine better than a OS .18 engine? Does anyone know what would be better for the Tsunami?


Thanks

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

The sh engines are very good but the o.s. engines have more power. Unfortunately I think the o.s. will probably destroy the stock diffs and dog bones. The lrp z.18s is a very good engine as well.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

The os cvr-x 18 is a sweet engine for the tunami, I have the sh as well and the os does have more power and holds a tune better I think. The sh is still a good engine tho. The sh 18 that I have is ported and polished along with some other tricks :) its just about as fast as my os engine.

If you have the vertex 18 I would just do the engine replacement program and get the sh 18 you will save lots of money that way

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

yeah, I heard about the engine replacement program, how does one go about changing it? I couldn't find anything on their site. Just in case I may need to replace mine in the future.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

In not to sure man I have only heard of people talking about it.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

Its seems pretty easy from what I read.

Thanks Kodiac, I just didn't find it on their site, I suck at searching for stuff

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

what kind of grease or oil caan you use for your shocks

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

It really depends on your driving style and where you drive, but 50wt silicone oil is pretty good for the tsunami.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

Well guys I took the tsunami out for its first spin since the grand am attack. Everything is just as good or better now then it ever was. The only thing thats not as good is one of the motor mount screws got busted in the crash so I only have 3 screws holding it in but I used up a quart today and its still good.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

Wow, should send that to redcat, it would be a good sales pitch.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

Yeah man lol it took some time but I got everything straight again. Hows your tsunami running? Dod you put the hpi parts in?

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

I still have to decide on what parts Im going to use. Not sure if I want to go with dog bones or the cvd's. I changed the clutch over to the HPI clutch shoes from my savage. The standard pilot shaft worked fine, I didnt need the longer one. I also need to get a new CB. I was thinking about trying the steel cb from redcat or I might go with the HPI threaded CB.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

Well with the redcat bell you wont need the longer pilot shaft but with an HPI bell you will just the way they mount you'll need it. If you check out some of the first pages if this thread ehroof (himotoracingusa) explained everything you need to do to put the hpi 2 speed bell on.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

How are the steel redcat CB's? Any good?

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

From what I have heard there good. I would give one a try

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

my tsunami came with a steel CB, 3/4 of a gallon, it works well for me, nothing broken or anything, except it changed color, from the metal looking color to an oily blue, still looks and works great though.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

Thanks gearguy. I think Im going to order one. My stock one looks like its ready to break apart. The bell housing is cracking and getting out of round from the clutch shoes. The teeth are all still good though.

RE: Redcat Racing Tsunami Thread
 

damn, lol. well, I even had mine a bit off of the gear mesh last time I ran it, and it didn't damage the gears at all, took the truck and storing it for now, decided to pull the bell off to check that everything is ok. the thing looks like new except for the color change, lol
