Is there any one out there who could tell if its possible to convert the tornado bb to a 1 gear car cause the two gears and very troublesome

RE: Just wondering
 

very easy just get the single speed gear set for the tornado xl part number 02126

RE: Just wondering
 

well do i have to change clutch bells or anything

RE: Just wondering
 

you need a single speed clutch bell and single speed trans:

i have this setup in one of my tornado xp's with a 15 tooth clutch bell, the 17 tooth bell would work fine.

RE: Just wondering
 

:Dmy bad forgot about the clutch bell duh

Also Eddie do you know why redcat has one listed as 02126 for 7.50 and 05126 for 18.99 they are the same part I think check that for me and tell me what you think

RE: Just wondering
 

well honestly do you think the 2 speed is better the only reason i was thinking bout changing is cause during my break in process the gears got stripped soo i needed to change them any way so i was thinking bout the single gear setting

RE: Just wondering
 

the 2 speed is more simple and it seems like less problems, i like the single speed setup, has good power thruout the whole rpm range, the 2 speed turns into a pig a little when it hits second gear, almost like something is holding it back.

Hey blue,

same part i think, one is on sale and one is not. unless its for the smaller 1/16 models.

RE: Just wondering
 

SO DO U THINK ITS WORTH A CONVERTOIN TO SWITCH FROM 2 SPEED TO 1

RE: Just wondering
 

I think it is worth it, you can always keep the 2 speed and switch them back and forth, the single speed is good for hard running off road, the 2 speed is better for flat or flatter surfaces.

RE: Just wondering
 

02126 I believe is for the electric cars. It should also be good for a single speed on the lightning. But havn't not tested it on one.

RE: Just wondering
 

are there any metal gears i can swapped ou t for the plastic ones

RE: Just wondering
 

not as of yet.

RE: Just wondering
 

so do u think its smart to keep the two gear setup

RE: Just wondering
 

I am not personally a big fan of redcats 2 speed setup to be honest. Its just my opinion.

RE: Just wondering
 

02126 is on sale and comes with a 42t spur gear.
05126 isn't on sale and comes with a 44t spur gear.

Both are for the Tornado's and lightning's. In know some people that have put them into the Volcano's and Tsunami's. But they are mainly for the Tornado and the Lightning.

thanks for clearing that up nick.
