    Status: offline     		I think the Hellfire brought HPI in to the off road racing seen and know many that race Savages including I. Yes I agree the Firestorm is a big leap forward for HPI as far as racing. You all so have to understand RC races are only 20 to 25% of the market. All so you will see in the next couple of month’s parts will be readily available and when anything new comes out it is all ways like this. If you are like me there is not any LHS around so I have to order all my stuff. That is why I have so many extra parts and have people that come to me. Matter of fact I have guy coming to night to get a 16 tooth HPI Race CB.

    Status: offline     		Standup...

    I have found that mine likes to run a little on the richer side. So I went about 1/2 turn clockwise from the factory break-in setting. I tried to run a little leaner but it didn't want to stay running, plus the thought of running too lean and replacing the engine didn't thrill the **** out of me either. I run on tight tracks so the top end speed isn't as critical for me. Hope this helps...

    This is very true the only part of a engine that never really needs tuneing it the LSN.........u set that once and ur good to go (if done right) for the most part the HSN needs to be adjusted everytime u go out and play but if tuned right the first time ull only have to turn the needle a quarter turn in or out depending on the day..........

    yesturday i was out raceing all day and at the beging of the day i was running fine and all of a sudden it was to rich after about 3 hours of running it happens!

    i am thinking about getting one too.
    i`m waiting for my LHS to get them in.
    i want to touch and smell it before i buy one.
    i`m also waiting for my neighbor to GIVE ME
    a t maxx. something about his bothers friend has one
    sitting in closet broken for 4 months he just wants
    to get rid of it.

    i still want to get one. my LHS has them in stock but i got that t maxx from
    my neighbor for 100$. i wanted to give him something for it. plus it needed about 100$ to fix.
    plus i had to buy a new radio. so money tight right now.
    a few questions about the storm. can it be bump started or roto started. engine being side mounted
    i dought it can be roto started and how are the stock servos???

    Status: offline     		Yes you can use a starter box and I am sure you can use a Roto starter but the starter box would be the way to go no drag of a one way bearing. I adjust both my LSN and HSN just about every time I to the track to make sure I am getting full performance. The only way to really tell is to make changes to see if the performance increases or decrease. True not as much with the LSN.
