RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
ehroof, Any idea what the part numbers are for either the redcat bearings or a third party replacement? The manual doesn't even have a picture of the clutch bell assembly, let alone a parts list. thanks, Pete

frekbynature2002, So is the bell dinging normal? I am guessing it is simply the shoes engaging the bell. Thanks, Pete

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
Ok, I got that darn spring around the shoes, put the engine back together, and that viola my car now idles, without moving :) I do have one more question. Is the "dinging" as the clutch engages normal? I noticed it before I replaced the clutch spring, but it is still "dinging". I suppose that is why they call it a clutch "bell" I was actually able to tune the engine with a noticable effect. It is amazing how much fun the darn thing is when it actually works. My clutch spring must have been broken from the get go, cause when I tried breaking in the engine it wanted to take off like a bat out of hell. Scared the crap out of me the first time I started it, LOL. Thanks again to frekbynature2002 and arlo1 for the quick responses. So, now I am ordering the HPI clutch bell and gears. Now comes the really stupid question...How do you assemble the 17T, 22T and the bell? Thank again, everyone, Pete

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
Ok, so I got a wild hair and decided to take the engine apart following the Redcat vehicle repair/tune FAQ. And wouldn't you know it, I barely moved the clutch bell and boing out shot the clutch spring with one of the end loops completely gone. So, I'll be replacing that spring and hopefully everything will be shiny. Thanks again!

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
I bought some A3 glowplugs when I got the car, so I stuck one of those in their. I'll give that a shot, if that doesn't do it, I'll check the clutch spring. Any how to's on taking apart the engine? I haven't had it apart yet as the thing is only a few weeks old. By the way, thanks for the quick responses. I was floored to see that many replies that quickly. Thanks for the help!

RE: Redcat Racing Tornado Thread
I am a newbie to nitro. I have been tinkering with electrics for a few years. I am having a hell of a time trying to set the idle on my tornado bb. I have taken it to my local hobby shop, checked with the local "experts" and no one has been able to set the idle. When I start the engine, I have to set the trim high, or open, so that the car won't die. However, when I apply the brakes, the engine dies. It is fairly new and just off break-in. The car will run fine, and fast, but if I stop the car completely it dies. Compression is great, I have tried a variety of mixes with both the high and low speed adjustments, but in order to keep the engine running it has to be revving pretty high. The glow plug appears to be fine, gets nice and bright. However, it was suggested that the glow plug may be the issue as the engine will die if I remove the ignighter without revving the engine. Any and all suggestions are welcome!!!!! The car is fun to drive but I am getting very frustrated with the idle. Please help!!!!! Thanks in advance...
