Default RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-

Thanks dude, and i had maximum air flow in mind when looking for a filter. I think i succeeded there! The plastic connecting pipe now has a Firestorm 10T sticker on it to give the illusion that its meant to be there
Im looking for a taller wheel for the rears to increase top speed. With the v-grooves on all corners the car slides like its drifting under acceleration, still they get to top speed in reasonable time. Suggestions on taller wheels would be appreciated. Obviously weight needs to be low as possible on the rear wheels.
I would be most happy with 40-45mph! I have an engine from a donor car which i have now ported so once i get a good speed check from the current set up i will swap engines to see if i can maybe squeeze a mph or two extra out of it.
