Here is a link to an online conversion chart that will allow you to convert cubic centimeters to cubic inches and vice-versa. Kinda handy to have when looking at engine sizes since some companies use one measurement and other companies use the another.

i love how the mt2, gt2, and jato posts have like a billion times more posts than the firestorm one heh


You reckon it has to do with the fact the Firestorm has only been on the streets for about a month?????

Status: offline 		I need to quite looking at the Firestorm as the more I look at it the more I want it and that is all I need is another RC truck. I sold some in the last couple of years, as I do not run all I have now. But you know one more and I will have 20 a nice round number. This hobby is more addicting then drugs. The tires on it would work well on the track around here. Any one that has the Firestorm have they ever owned a HPI 18SS engine and is the one in the Firestorm better? I sure hope so. Wish they would make a kit with out an engine like the Hellfire SS.

Status: offline 		i know i might get bashed but before you buy the firestorm make sure your lhs carries parts for it..unless you have enough money to place a big order for parts, right now not alotta people have them so parts at races will be hard to come by. But good luck to you at the races hopefully this truck will bring hpi into the racing scene in a big way..
