st1_racer -> should i go with firstorm (5/13/2008 3:49:42 PM)
I was wondering if the firestorm is any good. I like and was supposed to get it but i bought somthing cheap. I like nitro and was wondering if this would be a good choice. I have all the nitro supplies so i would just buy the truck. Do you think it would be better then going electric like the xl-5. But i like nitro and like the firestorm

If you like the Firestorm,then get it!I LOVE mine!Check out the"NitroNate's video library"post on RC car videos for some videos of my Firestorm! The Firestorm runs along-side the Savage in bashing.Incredible power!Racing potential!The best attribute I like about the Firestorm is its bashability.I jumped this thing 15ft.!!!You can see for yourself on my video thread! PM me if you want links.[;)]

Traxxas XL-5s....crap to me, but good for a beginner into R/C, if ur gonna get electric and traxxas, get a VXL

NitroNate -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/13/2008 9:15:36 PM)
Sorry but, no traxxas electric has durability....only speed.[:'(]

yakfish -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/13/2008 9:55:37 PM)
yes go with the firestorm. great little truck, good power and extreemly tough. parts are easy to find for it too. oh and one more thing its not elcetric!! nitro all the way!!

st1_racer -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/13/2008 10:02:45 PM)
ok thanks one more question is this far way better then a redcat and will i have alot of problems. also is it better then a nitro evader st

NitroNate -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/13/2008 10:16:01 PM)
No problems here![;)]

rclynx -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/13/2008 10:20:22 PM)
You can have problems with any of them..........only trouble with Redcat is QC..........you will probably have more luck with many of the well known manufacturers. Firestorm, Rusty, X-cellerator, XXX losi, GT2, they are all good. Thing you need to realize is that 1/10 models break much easier than 1/8 models. Its like 1/10 you hit a good one you break. 1/8 you hit, hit, hit, flip, tumble and still maybe you break and maybe not. Hope you get what I'm trying to say. Good luck on what ever you get and above all have fun. This is a sport with toys, toy's are suppose to be fun [:D]

COPS HATE ME -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/14/2008 3:14:30 AM)
me and my dad are gettin a firestorm and a e-firestorm

NitroNate -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/14/2008 3:51:51 AM)
Awsome! The Firestorm is an exception in the 1/10 scale catagory,rclynx.If you saw some of my videos,you would have to agree![;)]

st1_racer -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/14/2008 8:08:18 PM)
what about the xtm x-cellerator

NitroNate -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/14/2008 9:57:38 PM)
I was in the same boat as you were.I was looking at the rustler,firestorm,x-cell,jato,nitro sport,you name it.The majority of the people on here said Firestorm,so I got it and now I know why they recommended it to me. I am now one of the majority telling you to get the Firestorm.

sloppyG -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/14/2008 10:08:12 PM)
the associated GT2 is only about $30 more than the firestorm, and parts will be way easier to get since associated is a more widely distributed brand

st1_racer -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/14/2008 11:28:17 PM)
nope im have to stick with 240 and under that my budget and the firestorm i think is what im going to get

st1_racer -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/14/2008 11:31:47 PM)
oh and my dad thinks a another nitro truck is going to be a big pian in the a##, because my redcat was, and i tried to tell him that it wont becuase a redcat is crap compared to hpi, xtm, ect. am i right or is my dad?

sloppyG -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/14/2008 11:50:48 PM)
your dad is right

st1_racer -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/15/2008 12:05:39 AM)
yea but hpi firestorm is way better then a redcat.

sloppyG -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/15/2008 12:29:00 AM)
it'll still have all the same nitro related problems, especially if you're not doing correct tuning or maintenance depends on if the "problems" you had before were due to a crummy truck, or just due to it being nitro (with all the extra work associated with operating a nitro RC)

NitroNate -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/15/2008 1:41:11 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: sloppyG your dad is right If derek meant less broken parts,then HEs right.

supersound99ss -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/15/2008 6:00:24 AM)
i know my redcat was a hell of alot harder to get tuned than my hpi was, course i did learn on the redcat

st1_racer -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/15/2008 11:48:19 AM)
yes thats wha im trying to say. is tere anything i should now about the firestorm like its flaws

NitroNate -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/15/2008 3:35:38 PM)
I didn't run into any flaws...

supersound99ss -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/15/2008 6:25:02 PM)
pos pull start, but my redcat was like that too.....just got my rotorstart in the other day....oh so easy, so nice to crank up now

st1_racer -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/15/2008 8:38:22 PM)
so the firestorm is better then th ex-celerator... cant wait ti get it. i found the truck i want whooo

brett65 -> RE: should i go with firstorm (5/15/2008 10:53:41 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: sloppyG your dad is right Your crazy! Redcat is garbage compared to any of the major brands. It's cheap chines made junk. My firestorm starts on the first pull and runs great. It is less maintenance than my Savage so far because it has alot less to go wrong.
