RE: HOW TO VIDEOS
 

nice ali you make the best vids for redcat (:

RE: HOW TO VIDEOS
 

Thanks mate.

Doing my job with dedication :D I love RC :D

RE: HOW TO VIDEOS
 

Any idea why my Volcano SV wants to keep on running away? I set the carb like in you videos. I'm stumped. Really good videos.

RE: HOW TO VIDEOS
 

If you drive circles around yourself at say 10 ft does it run ok, or is this 'runaway' at a distance. You might want to install a failsafe and check that your batteries are secure in radio and receiver pack.

RE: HOW TO VIDEOS
 

NO. As soon as I start it now it wants to just take off. I set the carbs idle and then it will still do it buy die when I hit the brake. I'm wondering if the rod from the servo to the carb is wrong. Maybe those stops on the rod got knocked out of whack or something?

RE: HOW TO VIDEOS
 

Make sure trim on radio is not turned up. Also try adjusting the spring tension on the throttle rod.

RE: HOW TO VIDEOS
 

If your engine is stopping when you hit the brakes turn your idle screw up, your idle screw hold the carb open a certain amount. and turn your trim so your carb is just at where the idle screws holds it open just enough and then it opens all the way.

RE: HOW TO VIDEOS
 

There is a video on my channel

Why Engine quits when I brake

also check

why engine revs right after starting.

it will solve your problem :)

RE: HOW TO VIDEOS
 

Ok. I set everything last night but the igniter went dead. Only had like .9 volts on it. Hmmmmm.............? I'll let yall know when I get to it tonight. Thanks.

RE: HOW TO VIDEOS
 

I got it. Runs like a champ now. How long should a tank of fuel last? Is that dependent on tuning? Lean = less fuel consumption? Rich = more fuel consumption?

RE: HOW TO VIDEOS

This is a post on the vids I madeshimming the diffs but you may not need to shim them and with filling them just take out the 4 screws (have not done a vid on this I may well do one) just be easy on the screws.open up and becareful not to disturb the gears inside and fill almost all the way then put back together still easy on the screws.
