Redcat Volcano
 

Alright Im new to nitro, and i bought a redcat volcano sv, and i've been messing around with it for a long time and i cant get it to keep running, the longest time ive had it running was about 1 min, and i just cant keep it running, and i cant find the instructions, any advice would be very helpful

ok you need to give us more infomation but it sounds like your clutch spring has gone so take the engiene out take the clutch bell off and the spring will fall out so you may need a new clutch spring but you need to give us more infomation an the probelm so we can tell you.;)

how many tanks have you run throught it?
look at your carb operning is the operning 1mm by eny chance?
how mutch fuel spits out of the exaust pipe?

right answer them qustions the best you can please and it will become clear to us.let us know if you dont know what a clutch is or cluch soes or a spring and we will show you how to take you clutch off and check the spring is ok.

A WAY TO TEST IF THE SPRING IS BROKEN..........
if you pull your pull start wile the car's weels are held off the ground.if the weels turning around when pulling the pull start your cluch spring has broken however if your weels do not move a inch thay are ok and it is fine.;)LOL so thats it really ok

oh and welcome to the redcat forum!!!!;)enjoy

You need to retune your engine, you probablly have the needle settigns all messed up.

havent even ran a 1/2 a tank thro it
yes it is open by 1mm
just little drops about the size of sand
the clutch spring is just fine, not broke

Start the engine and on the control give turn the throttle up a tad so it will stay running. THe engine is brand new and the pinch is tight it may keep stalling till it gets worked in a tad bit more. Read those manuals in the last post I made and you should be good to go.

RE: Redcat Volcano
 

alright thanks i got it to start up, but i have no controls now, and when i take the glowplug ignitor off it shuts off, do i need a new glow plug?

RE: Redcat Volcano
 

great glad to see you got it going as for the glow start probelm i havent a clue but give it a good run with glow start in and it should be just fine the way it is....;)

RE: Redcat Volcano
 

Possible, sometimes that's a sign that the glow plug is going bad, but next time you start it give it a couple of good tapxs on the throttle while your holding on to the bumper of the truck to clear some of the fuel out of the engine and then take the glow plug ingnitor off and see what happens, it may just be flooding out.

RE: Redcat Volcano
 

if you take off the ignitor and it dies, replace the glow plug. Keeping the ignitor on longer wont help you if your plug is bad lol.

RE: Redcat Volcano

RE: Redcat Volcano
