If you want brutal power and want to run 3s, I recommend unsensored. I've run both systems a lot and there is a big difference with, for example, a castle or stock HPI motor and a censored equivalent.

I enjoyed mine a lot. Stadium trucks in general. I am selling my durango ST and am building a Team C TC02T that I won in a draw and I have preordered a losi 22 2.0.

Glad to hear! This ST will double as a race truck and basher, lol. I have no idea if the stadium truck class was going to sprout at our track, but nitro touring car certainly didn't.

It will do fine at a club race for sure. Definitely very bashable compared to a pure race platform. I think the weight distribution was off because of the extra beefiness it has in it. It was very inconsistent when pushed and I couldn't figure a way out of it.

Yep! I just got back from the trade. Oh my gosh, it is FAST on 2S, even with a 5700KV Castle system!!! Handles very good and came with a set of tires that our local track works well with.

The firestorm is a fun truck, enjoy it. There is some aftermarket stuff out there, too, if you are interested in doing her up. Thanks to the Blitz for that.Check out the 'Bay.

I need some help troubleshooting i just put a new receiver and esc on but now its glitchy alot worse than it was befor idk if its the controller or what it works good close but once i get like 20 ft away it has a mind of its own it might be the crystals or the servo to idk i have a tf-1 transmitter. before i replaced esc it wasnt as bad but i almost doubled the amps so i would guess it would make the glitch worse any help would be greatly appreciated

If its not a low battery pack or broken antenna wire (check if its broken but the casing is still holding on), it could be browning out from too much current draw on the BEC (Castle is known for this). What do you mean that you would double the amps? Are you running a different servo? Try switching the channels and see if the glitching occurs with the same servo or on the different channel. That should tell you if its a servo.

I've reduced my once very large RC fleet of vehicles to just a handful and the lovable RS4 made the cut. I only drive it a few times a year and it likely won't be replaced but I can't part with it.

Just got it, so I can't really tell, lol. I still have my RS4 Rally in a storage bin somewhere, in case the want to run an RS4 arises. Also have a set of rally tires, and wheel flares/wheel wells for it when it gets muddy. Really nice touring car.
