thanks ehroof for the email earlier just getting into nitro rc and bought my sv pro from my brother he just found out he can sell them so i was his first customer :D have to wait for him to bring down wanted to get the gasket sooner so thats why i joined and set this post up thanx again

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

your welcome, if you dont want to wait, go to an auto store and get some gasket material and cut out your own.

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

tried with cork gasket from a transmission i had laying around and it stills seems to burn it off

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

yeah, thats not real high tem gasket material, they sell small rolls of material, i bought some for my kids pocket bike and made a couple of rc exhaust gaskets, have a ton left over still, that cork gasket is meant for trans, oil pan and valve covers, not real high temp material.

will go to my lhs tommorrow and get some parts hey do you know what pull start will fit on the infinity .18. i got frustrated and i think i pulled my out to far and now it wont go back in. also do you know what header will fit and still be able to use the alum. tune pipe that came with my sv pro

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

hpi t-15 pull start, hpi rs4 3 evo header

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

hate to keep buggin you thanx for all the help before the gasket went when i ran the truck for a few minutes and did the spit test on it it seemed to be running cool (10 sec or more) im running bryons 15% with 18% oil got about a half gallon through it can i still lean it out it smokes like crazy now and seemed to be running great till the manifold loosened up. or should i switch to a lower oil content and retune it

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

18% oil is a little high, and 15% nitro is a little low, is that plane fuel? i like byrons race proven 20%, i think it has 12% oil. you can lean it a little at a time and see if the performance is getting any better, if not then dont bother, do 1/8 turns at a time.

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

thats what the guy at my lhs sais he sold it for, was just going by what the inst. book said for fuel so is the 20% what you would recommend i just dont want to smoke the engine so i went with the inst.book recomendation


p.s. i can pm you if it is easier

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

yes go with 20 percent, byrons, trinity,Odonnels

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

Yah 20% is fine and dont go more than 12% oil or less than 8%.

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

thanx guys for all the info and help it is greatly appreciated:D i dont know what i would have done if it wasnt for this forum. keep up all the great posts

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

hey guys just wanted to say that the hpi t-15 pullstart wont fit w/o putting on another backplate and the guy at my lhs sold me a traxxas alum. header #4940 . all i had to get for it to fit my stock alum. tune pipe was the adapter #5246 and move the holding rod back about an inch looks great will post pics soon

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

what engine is in your volcano, the hpi pull start fit 4 of my redcats, the vx-18, i see you have the pro, does that come with a different engine, i think its the infinity .18, from what i understand they use the same pullstart, maybe not if you say it didnt work.

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

yeah the pros come with the infinity .18 it must have a different backplate on it cause the hex was right but the holes didnt line up

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

hey guys was just wondering if when i switch to the 20% nitro will i have to break in the motor again or just retune it to the new fuel

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

retune it to the new fuel.

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

here is a pic of the engine with the new header and adapter installed

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

looks great, would look better if it was in the volcano. lol

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

i know just snapped a few while it was still out . i will have too clean it again and take some with it in now

RE: volcano sv pro help
 

hey guys my stock throttle servo just died what would you recommend for a replacement one

thanks

RE: volcano sv pro help
