I forgot something in my earlier post. WHOO HOO I JUST ORDERED AN E-FIRESTORM! I cant wait, the first thing I am gonna do is drop that 4600 sidewinder in there. Are the upgraded shocks any good?

rossiman

aluminum shocks are good quality

My brother is getting the Firestorm brushless and we are wondering what metal gear servo to get for it?

hey i heard you can use T4 spur gears and slippers...

does anyone have the part numbers for them? and is it a direct fit?

mercerbeef

if you look hard trinity has a vented slipper plate for the t4, looks cool, my friend got one for his truck

i had to drill it just a hair bigger

I took a stock Evader spur with bushing and used that. I also had to drill out the center of the bushing just slightly (used a small dremel and stone), and the slipper pads were adhesived on, works quite well while in a pinch. Problem is that my HPI spur came in and now I'm screwed for pads, heh.

ElectricGuy007

Yes T4 Spurs are a direct fit if you use the T4/B4 slipper pads with it.
I did.

Okay so i am thinking about getting one of these for my birthday. But i jump hard and will these things handle what i want? I know that rpm doesnt make parts for them yet (wish they did though) and i am leary of buying it if i always break arms or something. I would get the flux version but i have one more question. Do you guys go through spur gears very fast with your brushless motors in there? im just wondering cause i always go through tons in my stampede. Sometimes even more than 1 or 2 in 1 battery.

HELP!!

I have got a brand new FIRESTORM 10T. I have followed the instructions and run the first tank of fuel through with the wheels elevated and spinning. Now that I have reached the stage of getting it running and doing the next 2 tanks at half speed, Icant get it started! I have followed the fault finding guides and all the info on the HPI website, still nothing. This is a new hobby to me and one that my children and I have been looking forward to a great deal. However, it would appear that I have bought a 200 pound ornament. Anyone got any ideas what I am doing wrong, I will be eternally greatful. (not to mention it will shut the wife up "I told you not to buy it!!!)

HELP

The spur is pretty hefty for nylon type plastic, my spur in the Firestorm lasted longer than I ever expected, and the only reason it finally got eaten, was completely my fault. The Firestorms are almost 100% bulletproof for brushless applications. And no, no other parts have broken and to tell you the truth, I don't ever see the arms breaking unless I do something reaaaaalllly stupid.

smismi: try the nitro section of the forums.

ElectricGuy007

It's a durable truck I have yet to break it. The only reason why I also completly stripped the stock spur was my fault.
I cleared the tripple at my track and the truck landed motor first loosening the motor, that was mainly because the stock motor
screws are too short. I replaced them with longer screws.

ohgrfreak

If anyone hasn't replaced their motor screws yet, lunsford fatboys are awesome replacements.

ohgrfreak : this one ? LNS7901

ohgrfreak

There are two lengths they come in, they are the longer of the two lengths is what I use, and I cannot judge by the picture as to if these are the correct length ones or not. But they're the right brand and style.

Which would be a better long lasting tire for onroad bashing?


Proline Road rage II
Proline Roag Hawg II



And also, would this body fit the E-firestorm?

HPI - Chevy Silverado

Also would the HPI MT2 or MT CVD's fit on the E-firestorm?

SN33KY

Would the fatboy screws fit a mamba motor? lol sorry if its a noob question...


LAME my other post got deleted coz i linked it to ebay to show what it looked like...

Anyways heres the repost.

Would the HPI silverado truck body fit the E-firestorm? it says it fits the T4...xxx-t .... like is it a good fit like the stock shell?

And also would the HPI MT2 and MT cvd's fit the E-firestorm?

AND which tyre's would last longer for onroad bashing...

Proline Road rage II
OR
Proline Road Hawg II


CHEERS

mercerbeef

yes the hpi chevy body fit and the ford and dodge as well you just need to make new holes, the ones marked on the bodys dont line up with the posts, and dont forget you can move the rear body posts to either side of the shock tower, heres a shot of a hpi dodge ram on my e-firestorm and the chevy on my nitro firestorm

electricrcdude

YES! It is finally here! It was too dark outside to run the thing after converting it to Deans. . . One more time, you check all the screws, connections, and Loctite screw to metal? Do I need to do anything with the slipper? I have never had one with a slipper before so am not sure. Do I need to glue the tires again?

nickteamlosi24

Im buying a e-firestorm hopefully in a week. Ive been searching around and havent found much hop ups besides all the HPi stuff. Are there any other companys who make e-firestorm hop ups? any links?

SN33KY

hot racing does for all the alloy stuff

nickteamlosi24

i checked, but i didnt see any on their website

I just got a Tenergy 4500 mah 7 cell battery for the firestorm and let me tell you it is way faster. I know this might not be the best battery I could have got but it was free and brand new so no comments necessary. I would say now I am at the 25-27 range and it is much harder to jump and keep control (with the crappy jumps I made). Still did not break anything but the glue (or whatever is used) for the ESC and switch finally came off so I have to get those back down before using it again. Looks like a trip to the LHS.

I am still waiting for the motor for the SW 4600 and can't wait because I am sure it is going to be tons of fun.
