RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
Just spent my first weekend with the firestorm, brilliant fun!
Only thing I've noticed is that the HSN was not flush when I got it, it was about 1 full turn out, I've managed to tune it and its running great, plenty of smoke at full throttle, but any leaner and it bogs. I tried running at flush (factory settings) and it bogs and stalls too much, so I'm guessing my 'factory setting' is one full turn anticlockwise from flush? Apart from that, I'm sure its running well on 16% tornado fuel.
Broke the left suspension arm too hitting a parked car but I manged to fix it by simply glueing it. Thinking of buying some ally arms (12 quid on ebay, search hot racing in the US) anyone have any opinions? apparantly buying stronger parts just means that somewhere else will break, kindof shifting the weak points around?
