Default HPI firestorm good for bashing?

heya all - i was wondering how durable the new firestorm is. i know its fast and powerful, but those 2 things mean nothing to me if the truck is gonna fall apart when it lands a big jump. ive never run a nitro before but i want to upgrade from the electrics because their just not fast enough lol. i had a first gen rustler and i now have an emaxx and a new stampede. i guess its also relevant to ask if the firestorm is good for nitro noobs lol. ill be running it in a massive sand and gravel company quarry, so lots of sand and jumps


thanks


also - can someone give me a list of exactly what i need to maintain it (oils and such) and what to get exactly. i know i need:
-a fuel bottle
-a glow starter
-a 5 cell reciever pack (ok not need but want)
-GLOW PLUGS (which best for break in? and normal running?)
-oils (do i need air filter oil? what about after-run?)

am i missing anything? i also dont know anymore how to break in an engine in a car so if anyone has a good reliable guide to it, please tell

one last thing - does the AM radio suck? cuz i have the traxxas TQ from my stampede or the TQ3 from my emaxx i can drop in and im pretty sure their both FM.

The only thing that sucks about the firestorm at the moment is that it's hard as hell to get parts for it when it breaks. I've been waiting for over a month for my front bulkhead from Tower.
