The avalanche or the Volcano.

the avalanche, i was talking to backyardracer, they are both good trucks but you cant compare the volcano to the avalanche

The volcano is sweet! but yea about the avalanche i found one for $287 on E*#y:D The E-word!! saw that and thought well dangg thats the same as the hurricane and i would much rather have the avalanche cause where i live is rough

thats a great deal, just be careful with the shipping, make sure there not ripping you off on the shipping.

you said same top speed as rustler! Really. Interesting.

ehroof 10-21-2007 07:37 PM

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
yeah, i would say the rustler and volcano have the same top speed around 35mph, i know traxxas says like 50mph on the nitro rustler but i own one and i dont see it happening.

cen123 10-21-2007 07:39 PM

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
Well I've seen videos and it seems a lot faster than 35. Is your jato the same?

ehroof 10-21-2007 07:43 PM

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
we were fooling with the jato today, i got 50mph out of it today, i have a radar gun that i use, a bushnell one, its supposed to be accurate to within + or - 1mph.

cen123 10-21-2007 07:45 PM

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
Maybe there is something wrong with your rustler. The jato is similar to the rustler except it's two speed. And they're rated at 5MPH apart?

ehroof 10-21-2007 07:53 PM

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
no the rustler is rated at 50mph and the jato is rated at 65mph

cen123 10-21-2007 07:55 PM

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
OH. The jato is a 3.3......I thought it was a 2.5. In that case....what speed could I get from an OS .18 CV-RX in a volcano?

ehroof 10-21-2007 07:59 PM

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
i have a 2.5r ported and polished in the jato, its crazy fast. as far as the os, it maybe a little faster like 38-40 mph but your acceleration would be much better than stock.

cen123 10-21-2007 08:37 PM

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
Actually the 2.5R is rated at 55 and the 3.3 is 65.

Yup:D

Back to the Volcano and the Monsoon. I read that the exaust pipe on the monsoon touches the fuel tank. Is that how it is out of the box? No big deal.

ehroof 10-21-2007 08:46 PM

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
mine wasnt touching on the avalanche but i bent it a little further away just in case.

cen123 10-21-2007 08:54 PM

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
Even though the monsoon is so much better......that price differnece seems so much more......like what could I get in addition to the volcano.......another 100 in parts and hop ups. I think the monsoon might actully be too big for my track. I built it and it's not that wide or big.

ehroof 10-21-2007 08:56 PM

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
bro, your really fussing over this, i mean really badly, lol. start with the volcano, its smaller and less intemedating. When you feel you up to a faster, larger nitro, get the avalance or monsoon. I wouldnt really suggest starting off with a 1/8 powerhouse like the monsoon or avalanche for your first nitro.

I know but I cannot buy many cars. Would the hurricane be any better.

RE: Volcano SV review?
 
i am not saying but them all now, start off with the volcano, use it, learn how a nitro works, tuning, and the ins and the outs, then when your ready, jump to the avalanche or monsoon, sell the volcano and put the $ twards the larger one, if you keep it in good shape you can get some decent $ for it.
