visadudu-check out the RPM arms for the Blitz Front and Rear. The front ones eliminate a lot of the slop in the stock front pieces.

Hey Red how do you like the Nano-tech 3's,was wondering how they fit in the storm was thinking of getting a couple if they fit in a normal hardcase slot. Also I know this isn't Storm related but which Heli were you talking about my son has been begging for one. Hey Novak let me trade in my 5000khv motor for a 3300khv still waiting on good weather to really beat it, but from my testing seems like the ESC runs much cooler on 3's. here's hoping!

I am waiting for spring and the snow to melt for the nano's first run, They do fit perfect the in stock tray. Syma s107g or s105g is what you want for your kid. Check ebay and don't pay more then $25 shipped. Beware of clones ( I can give you a link if need be) or go to Xheli if you want to pay more to get it faster and have a warranty.

Look back about ten pages or so and see the discussion about the anderson power poles and crimpers. Oh, the debate about crimpers......

24t is as big as you can go without modification.

Yeah the 3 cell fits nice, good idea buying 2 helis do to the fact they are so cheap you may run into a dud now and then and you will have parts. I have switched to crimp on anderson power poles, Still need to do more testing before I can give them the thumbs up.

they look like buggy wheels. They make adapters so you can run the 17mm hex hub wheels (like most buggies use). I have been wanting to try a full set. you would have to gear down a bit but you would gain some ground clearance.

they're off a HB lightening GT, HB was having a garage sale i got um for like $2 and the tires were like $5 a pair, (the sale is still on but very limited stock), and i also got the hex adapters, i had to bore them out just a little bit to fit over the step in the axel but they fit fine, the only headace with um is they're close to the shocks, so i moved um to the inner positon,s i'd like to get a set of half offsets, tho i really want some 17mm's.... cuz i got some 1/8 buggy paddles...
