Hello fellow RC'ers! I was pretty big into racing off road trucks back in '88-92, got out for many years picked up flying back in '07 and flew for about 2 years. I flew sport and 3D and got really good really fast and due to health problems got out. Well a neighbor recently built a track and I decided to get back into trucks. I used to race a Losi JRX-T on a very limited budget and got really good at my local track in Memphis, Tn and won several trophies and events but life happened and I never Persued regional or nats like I wanted to. So I am getting back into racing and have ordered
HPI Racing E-Firestorm 10T Flux RTR. I always liked HPI back then and this kit looks like a great competitor for the $. Just looking for advice, comments, tips, friends and anything positive other RC'ers care to contribute. Do you think this is a good competitor or just a back yarder? I am going to race it and if there is enough interest i will update with reaults of how it does. I am 44 years old, a disabled veteran and I need something to occupy my time to keep me from going (more) crazy! I look forward to making many new friends, and maybe finding some old friends. Hope to hear from you!
