yeah i thought about waiting for that but i couldn't resist....I will just upgrade later.... when i have money ha

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

is that the new hpi .18 engine that it has in it?.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

it has the new g3.0 in it

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

I have had my Firestorm for about 2 weeks now and absolutely love it! This thing is quick and handles nicely at speed. I am going to change the clutch bell to an 18 or 17T to get a little more pop out of the corners because I run on several tight tracks, but other than that I will run as is for now.

I will warn you to look at the brake...they ship them (or at least mine) with little to no brakes, but just did a little adjusting and they work fine now. Not only adjust the quick adjust but look at adjusting the brake plates a little closer.

Anyone thinking about getting one will not be disappointed, especially with this only costing $260.00.

I will post pics soon.

my brakes work almost too good but i did turn in the adjuster knob on the servo rod a little.... i agree with LT. 725.....this handles really nice and it just keeps revving out....the top and bottom end are pretty snappy.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]

A 3.0 is and 18. 3.0cc or .18 cubic inch.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

:D thanks... i knew 3 was the metric displacement but didn't know .18 is in cubic inches hehe

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

How does this thing grip on a paved road. Does it spin out of can i get traction.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

on paved road it grips awesome.... but it will do a burnout if you give it full throttle and turn it [sm=stupid.gif]

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

Pics...sorry for the bedspread, but I am traveling now and in a hotel.

Forgot to mention in my last post that I did add a front bumper (modified an Associated one) because I have a tendency to bump into things!:D

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

I have been on pavement, gravel, and dirt and the thing grips pretty dang good on all of them. Obviously it grips better on pavement, but you have to expect that. And the thing jumps great. I was able to clear a 25 foot tabletop on the local BMX track. Keep the RPM's up because the front has a tendency to dive.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

hehe yeah you could probably do a front flip [X(] but i have yet to jump mine. It has been nasty weather for a while :eek:

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-

aint she a beauty haha. thats xxx rated lol.

anybody else notice the great tires this thing comes with

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

YES!!! I LOVE THEM! :D they are perfect for most terrains

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

here is a question....why is the tubing so long to depressurize the gas tank? why is the tube so short for the fuel intake? shouldn't that be switched?

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

the fuel tubing is to pressurize the fuel tank, not to DEpressurize the tank. it's long to keep the engine from running erratically.

it's a nice lookin truck, i still may have to snag one for a basher ST

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

BRO THANKS FOR THE PICS that thing looks awsome maybe in a later future i can get one if i find a used roller it might take a while to turn up but with time i know theyll start showing up on ebay

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

just to get technical hehe how does it pressurize the tank!? [sm=confused.gif] by the exhaust buildup in the muffler trying to get out of a small hole? yes i think i just answered my question... haha epiphany

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

YES u jsut answer ur own question LOL


PS i just looked on ebay and there is already a COMPLETE use FIRESTORM its funny becuase he has it listed at THE FIRST FIRESTORM ON EBAY..........and u know what i think its true!!!

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
