Rush Evo or Firestorm
Hi all. Just wondering what people would think would be the better of the two to buy?? There aint a lot of difference in price. This will be my first Nitro car and the Firestorm looks to be a lot faster than the Rush which is kind of putting me off a little. I think it would maybe be a little bit too fast for me, and there is no parts around for them yet either. But then from what I have read people seem to have a fair few problems with the Rush Evo so i'm kind of stuck!!!
Any suggestions??

i have the mt2 18ss kit and its really a good running mate...you go offroad and it really do the thing...haven't tried the firestorm but i reckon if it's a 4wd must be good aswell because of the new engine.

RE: Rush Evo or Firestorm
dont go mt2 kit, it is faster than the firestorm and you dont want speed??...
rwd will be harder to controll as it will spin out more, my evo is kitted up but there is such a massive fan of them, they are the original and you will find help, new trucks and cars are never realy tested by people untill a few months have passsed, i love my evo!!, its easy to work on, t-15 engine is reliable and easy to tune!
i think the evo out the box looks better than a firestorm aswell?..( just my opinion!)..

The fire storm is 4km/h slower than the mt2 and the rush

RE: Rush Evo or Firestorm
I bought a firestorm a few weeks ago. It's my first RC and I'm not the least bit disappointed. My friend has an MT2 and this smokes it by a long way. The RWD takes a bit to get used to, but I wanted a little more challenge so that's why I went with it. After I got the air/fuel ratio dialed in, the thing is a little too peppy. The truck looks great too
