Anyone know's how to adjust transmission in tsunami. Heard of a screw, but don't know were it is. Playing with it and realise that it never shift and never shifted before. Help!!!!!

You turn in the screw to make it sift later and screw it out to make it shift sooner.

Is the stub axles a major weak point on tsunami, or nitro rc. Have my tsunami for two week now, and broke three stub axle and two rear axle holder's. (Have no part in stock[>:]) Broke them off going over very small speed bump in garage parking lot. It jumps about 3 inches, land and snap.[>:]. Being a mechanic I fix them up with welder and cotter pins, but want to know if im just driving it wrong or just bad parts in general.

Is it a good idea to get the aluminum upper body plate? Those it replace any of the parts already there? Is the battery's harder to change or makes no difference at all?

As I have been converting my buggy into a Tsunami I have learned a lot here are some pictures of what I have already, and with the aluminum upper plate I like it because it makes it look better I think, you have to have a hump pack battery for it if you switch to the aluminum upper plate, you can have the recharging plug to the side behind the steering servo, thats how I have mine.

i see your in canada, if its very cold out, plastic is brittle and breaks easily. upgrade to aluminum if you keep haveing the problems in the cold.

Macanan what is a hump pack battery?

Macanan 02-15-2008 09:21 PM

RE: Tsunami concern
 
it has to be a 5 cell hump pack like the ones here on Clermonts sight

RE: Tsunami concern
 
Those the battery goes in the same holder, or do you have to do mods?

Macanan 02-15-2008 09:29 PM

RE: Tsunami concern
 
No, no mods at all it fits in like a glove.

ehroof 02-15-2008 09:35 PM

RE: Tsunami concern
 
hump packs will fit in any place a regular battery holder will fit.

Does anyone knows if there is a HPI part # to replace the tsunami stub axle #02033, or are all 1/10 scale have similar stub axle?

I broke two within a few minutes of one another
It was cold out and I was really abusing my Tsunami
I own 2 tornado's and a himoto road car also and I never broke a axle
I believe the stance and big tires might have done it-could have been the cold?
I have big proline tires on all the rest of my cars-but with wide 2.2 rims---maybe the 2.6 rims stock on the Tsunami is the problem??
Never thought about welding the broken ones (I'm a retires ASE tech)-great idea I have a mig and gas welder here

get the 42 and 47 tooth spur gears

06032, 06033
When would you use the 42 vs the 47?
I want to get both but not sure when I would swap them out.

ehroof 02-20-2008 03:37 PM

RE: Tsunami concern
 
the tsunami is a 2 speed so there are 2 spur gears, 1st and 2nd gear

RE: Tsunami concern
 
are these hump packs a direct plug or do you have to modify the harnes or plug it in? what is the battery life of the humppack compared to traditional AA battery's?

ehroof 02-20-2008 07:04 PM

RE: Tsunami concern
 
direct fit, plugs in the same way the regular battery holder does. It depends on the mah but they should last longer and have more power than typical alkaline batteries.
