Default Firestorm 10T

Anyone have any good sugestions on upgrading my firestorm. I already have a fuel filter. There is not that much on the hpi web site so I am not sure if they have really made any hop up parts yet. I have a pic of my firestorm as of now. Any good sugestions would help. Thanks

The thing's I've done are change the shock oil, change the steering servo, replace the pullstart with a rotostart, got the rechargeable pack for the receiver and changed the radio system to a DX3.0.

Yeah I have the same magazine. Now should I get it for the throttle too or should the original one be fine?

it looks like there will be a sway bar kit for the firestorm. If you look at the rear arms. The two little balls . mm i wonder how it would be fitted. I really want a firestorm []. Do you think i should sell my mt2 for one? Im bored of my mt2 and it keeps breaking. I know rc's do break but my mt2 is just over the top lol []. Ive heard the firestorm is a strong little thing?

I would recommend if you were to sell your mt2 to buy a firestorm. They truely are bashers. I have just bought the Hitec hs-645 servo for my steering and I am just about to apply it. It is really easy to get to. Just a couple of screws and I will have it on. OOO YA I was getting distracted. I would buy the Firestorm, I really do like this truck!
