You would have to make mounts if you want to add a different wing, but that's not entirely too difficult. It just takes a bit of imagination. I would suggest retrofitting a wing mount from a chassis that uses a separate mount, like a buggy or something.

Yeah, might try it when I have a few hours spare!

Looking for owners of rc's that live in PA, MD. I have a nice new spot to build track, already has a huge burm on it. I will post pictures of this area. I really don't want to put all this work into this place just to race/bash myself.

I think I'm going to get a Jato and was wondering how much I could sell my firestorm for with out an engine? everything else is in really good condition. and it has a set of rear Proline moabs that are brand new.
Thanks

NitroNate

Maybe around $150. Why do you want to sell it[X(]?Having trouble?Or do you just have speed fever?

FirestormBasher

Nate, I see in your avitar your from Pa, how far into Pa are you?

NitroNate

About in the center and a little SE.

I figured if I do get the Jato I'm looking at tomarrow I'll probably never use the firestorm since they are both stadium trucks and I need the money( just found out my wife is pregnant with our first child, and doctors aren't cheap[:@]).
Maybe if you are interested I can give you a deal?! I have a brand new engine coming from hpi but I thought I might hold onto it or maybe sell it seperately I don't know.

The track I'm building is just out of Chambersburg, think you would want to come down one Sat. and tear it up?

NitroNate

I'd LOVE to!! Only one problem though.I don't have a drivers liscence yet.[:'(]I have one more year to go.[&o]

I don't think I saw pics of your storm yet.Got any?Anyway, here's mine!:

FirestormBasher

NitroNate

Hello all

I new to the rc world. I have 2 nitro st's both xtm.

I was looking into getting a firestorm, love the way it looks and all. I only about half way through reading the back pages.. and seem to be all good reviews so far, but that was awhile ago. anyone have any complaints with these now.

NitroNate

I had my firestorm for six months now and never found anything to complain about.Here's a little video that I put together: http://s258.photobucket.com/albums/h...=Moviesotm.flv .In summary,the firestorm is tough,agile,powerful and good looking.Can't go wrong buying it!

your video pretty much just sold me on it. I like to bash around, not really looking to race just have fun..

thank you

NitroNate

No problem.
The firestorm will let you bash it whithout complaining!LOL!

what's the first thing I should upgrade.. I read I should upgrade the steering servo to either a hitec 645 or 625

but other than that anything I should look into ?

yakfish

My Feedback: (27)

I would second the steering servo. I put I hitech HS-635HB

NitroNate

The video that u saw was of my firestorm bone-stock, however I to reccomend a MG high-torque servo so that you can tighten the servo saver as tight as possible, which will give you a quick steering response.

Hi guys!

I just got my firestorm today..



I have one question though, what type of flat screw driver do you guys use to adjust the LSN(low speed needle)? I just can't figure out how to reach the LSN coz its in a tight position..

Thanks in advance!

rclynx

With the body on you will have to cut a small hole to gain a direct hit on the LSN[&o]

yakfish

My Feedback: (27)

The LSN isn't very tight and is quite easy to move with just a regular scewdriver at an angle. just use the scew driver to push on the side of the scew that you want turn. I hope this helps.
BTW the firestorm manual advises against tuning the LSN and when I asked the hooby shop where I bought my firestorm they said the same thing. If you do tune it (like I did anyway) you need to go very small increments at a time like 1/16 of a turn or less you won't have to move iot very far to get a good tune from stock.

windowlicker

Hey TVC, whilst your Firestorm is new, I'd advise you glue some soft fabric to the inside of the body where it touches the exhaust. Otherwise in just a few runs time you will find you have rubbing patches where the body has scuffed against the exhaust. You don't have to, but it will make sure your exhaust keeps its black paint job!

Can the firestorm be ordered with the lime green body or any other, or does it only come with the orange one?

I have had my firestorm for a few months and my only complaint is the battery holder had a bad connection from the factory and the thing kept running off on me top speed into trees, cars, curbs, etc. It has been scattered in pieces on my desk for the last few weeks due to broken parts. the last impact was a curb and it ripped it all apart, bulkhead, a arms, upper chassis deck, wheels, etc, etc got broken. It runs real good though after all that it was still trying to haul ass. haha. And it is hard to find parts for this at any of the LHS's around me.
