Well, that was bad driving. From what I've heard the truck is very solid.

Every 20 runs you have to do maintence on the rear diff. It dont take that long though, just remove a few screws.

My brushless system came today, I have already soldered a dean connector on the esc.
The truck is ready to rip up some dirt.

The stock ball-studs are also very cheap and will break off easy, so I took the ones off my B4 team kit and rs4mt.
I have also installed matching black RPM ballcups to make the truck even stronger.

I have not drove it or got it dirty just yet. I'll wait and run it for the first time this weekend.

Just be glad you don't have to do work on the front and rear diff. That would really be a pain.

Get videos and let us know how it does!

Here's pics of mine.


I put my AE radio in it, because this esc doesnt like spectrum/Fasst.
Everytime I steer it would go in reverse, thought that was kinda odd.

You can get a bigger battery later.
MaxAmps Lipo 6000HV, Intellect 4600 combo on rcmart (30 battery cells with everything you'll need)!


Is everybody having some serious fun with their E-firestorm ?

Status: offline 		I ran it all day long and didnt break anything. This truck is amazing, I let a guy at the track drive it and he wants one.
The stock tires worked on the hard packed clay track in reo indiana also, I had almost too much traction.
I switched to my Losi pink tapers and it drived so much better though.

I'll save the stock tires and black rims for loose dirt, which I think that's what these tires are designed for.

remember, a large lug pin tire (aka, what it comes with stock) works best for hard surfaces, and hey, they don't wear down as fast, ya, thats what i love, a car that is a good racer that doesn't break easily
