@alishanmao thank you for your help and it seems like i cant get the distance shorter no matter what screws i tighten so i ordered some longer dog bone axles to make that distance shorter.
@kasey24ful seems like that side upper connecting rod has moved the C hub connection away that keeps the distance between wheel drive cup and front gear drive cup enough to hold dog bone in. See if you can tighten the screws or anything provided to get that distance set to shorter.
Hi ali, i have a question about my infinitive rc truck. Its right dogbone axle is ok when i turn but the right one slips out of the socket. What do u think the problem is? I have no idea and i really need your help on this one.

@MrSupra95 Yup mate. they are good priced and quality cars
@alishanmao my bad.. but you still do like redcat right?
@MrSupra95 I am not a fan, I work for them. I am an official employee
u really are a big redcat fan aren’t you? =]
I have a Hong nor Lx one.
Never prime it.
never clean it.
and never put any decent fuel in it (Allways out of date)
and it runs like a champ
@wapa445 u could put wd-40 in to ur carburator . if u get a new rc u put wd-40 or after run oil in to the carb. hope it helps
could u acctually put wd-40 on carburator????…or i got that wrong???….
nice
Is it that bad if it does rust a bit?
i just take the battery out and spray mine down with a hose lol then wd-40 it around any moving parts
I just use Simple green and an Air compressor!!
@martinlarsen20 mostly the metal parts including engine mounts and engine blocks can start rusting quick

hey squirrel is it ok to run a glow plug that has a idle bar on it.

Nothing, just tune to the fuel and put a cold plug on the engine.

thanks squirrel i didnt think they were the best company
There are other companies that I would buy over CEN.
hey squirrel i got a question…… is cen racing a good company? durability, speed how are they in performance thanks
well the switch it over now because ur engine is like new and dont mix them and run you engine and fuel tank completly out of fuel
Kevin, your hilarious. Keep doing what your doing brother………Son we live in a world that has internets, and those internets have to be saturated with Walken impersonations. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Pollak? Well, you do it best so welcome to the internets.
u hit the gas line
No you cannot.
can you use gas from gas stations? and if so, what kind of gas would you recommend, leaded, unleaded, or desel?
hey squirrel im just curious. does the length of your fuel line matter? an example hpi cars use short lines and traxxas use very long lines. whats the difference if there is?
thanks
probly close to 1
That is for sure, i have one and it is just as (or faster) than most 1/10 or 1/8 scale buggies, and truggies, the engines are great, we use a SH-18 insted of the old VX-18 (the VX are crap) and everything is just about bullit proofe…
