i think its fake but im not sure. if it says clone it should mean cloned.

thestratomaster

Would you recommend staying away from those then?

coxie1996

My Feedback: (3)

well i am not sure. i would personally stay away but i have no experience from clones. but hows the fen block rc drift/rally car going(did u get it)

thestratomaster

I have not yet, Im still weighing a couple options. He's firm on the price so, even though its a good deal, well see how it works out!

ok great. well i hope it all goes good

thestratomaster

So those clones would be $90 shipped....ready to race. Worth it for a platform to upgrade on?

coxie1996

My Feedback: (3)

well im not sure. im not familliar with clones of any type. but i would not recomend getting one. and i think you would have to buy the batteries and charger and other set of wheels which will equal over $150. so thats wat i will recomend

thestratomaster

well apparently both of the good ones I was looking at are gone bc the posts have been deleted sooo

ok great good luck

thestratomaster

Alright, so Im deciding to go with the tl 01 clone.  Its completely RTR, cheap, and fully upgradeable with quality parts.  I think it'll be a good place to start.  Now with that said, whats the most important first upgrade?

 Hello, i just picked up the volcano exp from redcat racing. I chargered the battery for 8 hours like the manual said. However the manual does not say how long to charge it afterwards. I am getting very short run times (like 5 minutes each). Is this right or am i doing something wrong? Please respond, thank you. If i need a bigger battery, what battery would you recommend, and should i use a smart charger? Thanks again</p>

thestratomaster

haha...thanks. and yeah, so Ill be buying the tl 01. What's a logical first upgrade for any car and well go from there?

well since im done with everything else i will help u out , ok first off i would recomend you might want to look into a bearing kit for the tl 01. or a Team Orion 12x2 motor. or a brushless kit with lipo battery(1500-5000mah) i have 2 5000mah lipos. also bearings would be a great starter then battery and then brushless and lipo. do this then look into a better chassis(carbon fiber or graphite, or even plexiglass which i can do if u want(i make micro-t chassis's out of plexiglass). hope this helps

thestratomaster

ive had luck with bearings in the past with xmods, they look like theyre expensive for the tl01 though. Does a lipo make a big diference?

Way to be helpful. Perhaps a bit more tact could be used, like so:

@ MrTom3277-

As was suggested, the "proper" etiquette is to phrase your question in a new thread, may I suggest the [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_427/tt.htm]Redcat Racing Support[/link] forum, right here on RCU?

coxie1996

My Feedback: (3)

ya bearings are expensive but u have to know were to get em. ceramic bearings are $50+ but regular bearings are like $20 and under. also a lipo makes all the difference in the world. it can make my rustler vxl go from 40mph (with a 3000mah batt.) to 70mph+ (with a 5000mah lipo) those r expensive so i would recomend going with turnigy batteries. great quality lipos for half (if not less) the price. i also know a guy that fixed 4 out of 5 of my fried lipos(sry to change the subject :P. also sry about that buzz bomber

thestratomaster

So as not a battery pro, you happen to have a link for a compatible battery for a tl01? haha

coxie1996

My Feedback: (3)

well theres no compatible battery, just the connectors(which u can easily change) but here ya go
