Lighting and VX-18
 
Has any put the vx-18 engine in the redcat's lighting?


i just ordered the engine from redcat and didnt even think if the
car is strong enough which im sure it is but not positive.

$5 more and you can get the sh.18 which is a better quality than the VX so i believe thats whats im going to go for.

the car will hold up to a sh.18 or vx.18....the sh will be more powerfull....however I dont think the car would hold up to a os tz .18....but then again not many will

Hi-i-was-wondering-if-there-is-a-way-to-hold-out-first-gear-longer-or-if-the-spring-is-just-too-weak-for-the-sh18?

Ya there is a grub screw on the tranny that you tighten, and it makes it shift later, or not at all. Its the one thats off center.
