But seem to be getting interference [&amp;:] on a stand the truck accl/rev fine but when it's on the ground she travel's a couple feet then stops....regains signal travel another couple feet then stops....aaargh!<br type="_moz" />

This happened to me. And I discovered it happens when thelow voltagecut off kicks in. In otherwords thereisn't enough power left in the battery to be able to cope with the friction on the ground :) So simple recharge the batteries andit willbe fine. Irecommend investing in a decent charger. As otherwise you'll be waiting a long time for the batteries to charge.Also you may need to re program the battery settings with the esc it should be in the manual at how to do this :)</p>

Hello
This happened to me when I got my E-Firestorm Flux Waterproof. The issue for me was that the car was delivered with it preprogrammed to run on Lipos and I am using NiMH batteries. The usermanual has the directions on how to use the transmitter to reprogram the car if you are using any other battery than Lipos. When it is set to Lipos, the low voltage Kick off kicks in and interferes. Your batteries may be fine, if you are not using lipos. Just reprogram the car using the manual. Worked for me!

Not going anywhere lol.... I just went out and bought an Onyx peak charger. I would love a better one but it's all I can afford for now . Made my fist run with it and i love it, though battery died fairly quick.

Hey XxINLINExX. I am new to this Forum as well and to the RC car scene. I am glad to hear it worked. I took mine into RC Car Kings, here in Minnesota (Great Store!), and they were able to tell me why it was doing it. One of the employees there was familiar with the HPI product. Strange though that the E-Firestorm RTR is delivered with a NiMH Battery and the car is preset to run on Lipos. :)-

Hit by what? If the damage is good its customary to post a photo.....<div></div><div>I finally got my hitec X4 charger running. I made a power supply from a computer ATX power supply and it works really well. The charger is just four B6 chargers in one fancy case with high quality connectors. They are identical in look, feel and operation to my chinese single charger versions. I assume this is a common set of guts that Hitec has lisenced from someone and that it was cloned and that hitec didn't clone someone else. I assume these guts are in more than one legitimate charger. </div><div></div><div>It warmed and dried up and there is good driving weather again. I have mothballed the storm for now and am driving my flux HP. Its weight makes it easier to control than 1/10 vehicles on the cold asphalt I finally got rims to mount my 2.8 inch road rage (summer only for those although I will likely run 2.2 road rage and save the 2.8s for the savage XS). Photos to come.</div>

I need your guys help! I own a firestorm & have done many hop ups to it.
I would like to know if anyone knows how to make the firestorm look like a class 1 buggy, sort of like the HPI Apache. Thanks for your help! <br type=''_moz'' />
