The Rush Evo is slowly being phased out, it will be hard to find parts for later on......

Status: offline 		u broke the youre fron bulkhead? nice, but anyways the firestorm seems to be a pretty good car. Im runnin on a low budget but i really want to stay in nitro. so i think the firestorm would be fine i still need a lil more money tho. Thanks for the advice. if uve heard anything else about it let me know

Status: offline 		no, it shows the pull start in that vid. But yes buy the back plate and the rotostart. You will prolly have to go the route I did which is use the savage oneway bearing and gear set up, mainly because the stock gears don't fit over the oneway bearing

Status: offline 		I would get the firestorm. I have a rush evo and a firestorm and I would recommend the firestorm over the rush evo. The firestorm has more torque then the evo and is still just as durable. I have a lot more fun with the firestorm then the rush evo. The firestorm would be the definate BUY!!
