RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
sounds like you miht be runnin a bit rich on the high end needle. if you floor it does it bog then die? if so its runnin rich on the high end(screw the high end needle in 1/8 turn ). if it takes off fast but dies quick the its probably runnin a bit lean(back the high end needle out 1/8 turn). took me a while to work this out but it can be done with a little patience. but i'd still listen to ehroof and allaboutfun hobbies they know their stuff way better than me. what do you think guys?

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
its really easy once you get the acid bath mixture right and keep the amperage at a high enough level at a constant rate. also tweeked the sealing process a little and found a way to keep the color from leaching out near as much(went from losing like 80% of the dye to only loosing maybe 20-30%) and did it without the use of professional color guarding sealants!! i love this s**t!!!! doin my clutch bell this weekend. what do you guys think...should i do it the same purple or maybe blue or green to go with the shocks/rims?

RE: Starter Gun
my drill does have multiple settings but they are just for adjusting torque not speed. i actually took off the glow plug and watched the piston move up and down. then i put the pull start back on a did the same.....not even close to the same rotation rate. seriously, should i have gone with the starter box? seems like it might have been cheaper once you consider buying battery packs starter backplate and charger.

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
i've read about caustic solutions for cleaning and prep. i also read that oven cleaner is good for stripping old anodizing. does this mean that oven cleaner will also work for prepping? also should i try to keep the process out of the cylinder?

man i wish i would have read this post earlier. i just ordered an electric crank starter from them yesterday. but they did send me a confirmation e-mail today saying to expect it monday or tuesday so here's to hoping for the best(my a.d.d. doesnt allow me to wait very well lol) but if you are just ordering everyday parts or standard aluminum mods i recommend [link]http://www.rufaster.com[/link].... $1 shipping on everything and i have never waited more than 4 days for my parts to arrive. as for the 13/18 unless somebody else knows something we are all stuck with tower
