Shocks Refill on Tornado XP
Was taking the rear axle apart last night (the outer rear bearing is broke) and notice that my 2 left shocks bottom came lose (unscrew) and the oil leaked out. I went ahead and removed them from the car and I'm ready to refill them. What weight oil should I use and how much do I put in ? Thanks

RE: Performance Claims
[quote]ORIGINAL: xilix Dude, you're a living, breathing, thinking human being. You have the ability to CHOOSE whether or not you feel like doing sometihng. It's not like you go out and buy a Redcat and one day it just turns around and says to you "hey you know what, I don't FEEL like going 70mph today, so you can just go screw yourself". We are talking about things that are designed to achieve one thing or another. Either it does it, or it doesn't. Simple. There is no mystical between for a R/C car or any other object. It doesn't have a brain and it cannot think for itself or decide whether it wants to go 70mph or not. And I dunno about you, but where I come from, words have one definition to all people and it's not subjective. There may be a variety of ways to interpret a sentence or word, but only one way is right. You guys can be on the defensive about Redcat products all you want. They're false advertising and I would bet my left nut on it. Honestly, think about it. Since when do people buy things because of what they MIGHT or MIGHT NOT be able to do? It's not like I went into a Ford dealership and the salesman was like "yeah.. it'll do 147mph....sometimes... maybe... if you use C16 race gas... and take the spoiler off.. and use nitrous... and install better cams and heads.. and delete the rear seats... and use swap out your tranny for a 6-speed ect. ect.." No, it just does it. Plain and simple. My car will go that fast, it depends on nothing, it is able to, that is why I bought it, and that is why everyone buys everything. Because certain products DO certain things. Why not just slap 70mph on every single RTR in the world? Because of course, with an engine upgrade, 30% nitro, new suspension, new tranny.... blah blah blah blah.. anything can go 70mph. Right? So basically what you're saying is that it's ok for a company to sell a product under false pretenses. Well I and a lot of people out there, including the BBB, think it's wrong. But I guess I'm just one of those crazy people who actually like to get what the product avertises it can do. [/quote] You are maybe right, but you use the wrong explanation to convince me of your point. For example, there is only one Bible with the same words for everyone, why there is so much Churches and different Believing if "only one way is right"( to quote you). As for choosing the mustang to prove your point (don't get me wrong, i like the car), I remember multiple tests where modification has to be done so top speed can be reached. ( Tape lights and hood for better aerodynamic...) So I guess everything is subjective to your own comprehension of the terms.

Tornado XP not shifting to 2nd gear
Run the car this weekend full trottle and notice that the car was not shifting.... After making a search on the forum, I found that their is possibility to adjust shift point. Is it the same way with the redcat gear system ?? turning the hex screw behind the gears counter clockwise for earlier shifting. Can another problem could cause the car not to shift. Thanks

RE: "OFFICIAL"Redcat Racing 1/10th BUGGY
chubbysdad, Thanks for the tip. What is the purpose of the Throttle Reverse Direction Switch (8) and the Throttle Adjustement Switch(9) on the remote ? When I tried 8 tonight the car just went full throttle and almost lost it, as for 9 it's seem to move the neutral position and need to adjust the trottle inching all the way for the car not to move.

RE: "OFFICIAL"Redcat Racing 1/10th BUGGY
Just got my Tornado XP. I'm new to R/C and really enjoy the car so far.( Ran my first 5 tanks and ready to do some tune up) My only complain so far is the lack of information of the Manual and no prime on the gas tank.
