What size is your engine,seems like everybody have a 30cc,i could'nt find a dune runner 30cc for sale.do you think i shoud try find one?

 

[lords]

DuneRunners come with a 26cc.


you can buy a 30cc engine or rebuild the 26cc yourself with kits...

motor!


i got a 28.5 race ported, runs great!

I don't think your dunrunner needs a 30cc thats overdoing it, go with a 26cc get higher rpms

How can i do that?


Can you please make a list what do you think should i upgrade right way.


Can you put the same size back tires in the front too?

 

[lords]

Well, first it should of came with a HY26cc so just add a pipe to that. and adjust the needles to a better pickup and still smoke...(rich)


hpi 5b/5t pipe works well and cheap for starters..(check my vid for it's sound and small grunt..lol)


unless one of the exhaust engineer's through this forum have one for a Dunerunner..


that be neat


change that gearing to fit your needs after that..


order back tires/foam, so you can change over the rubber..you will burn them up quick..lol


and remember thought/rule,


check over the drive system


pull the dogbones and check to make sure the pins are not loose


it's kinda of a pain on the first time doing this but easier the next time.


as with all RC items ,you need to check over all/most of the screws


both my diff's were full when i pulled them...which is a good thing.


have fun...

Hi Jimmy B here!


I have a Dune runner and it took me a while to work out the bugs


1,Check all screws and use red lock tight on the dogbones


2. change to metal gears I ground my plastic gears the first day.


3.I had problems with the stearing servo so keep www.redcatracing.com


on the friends list to order parts and they will replace all eletronic parts for free


minus the shipping to redcat.


I have a 30.5cc ported and domanator fast pipe


it realy makes it fun.


Good Luck!!
