So.............................................. no one is geting one?

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

I would be intrested in a SS version...

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

Not a bad looking truck, whenever i see a 2wd stadium truck i would just buy a rc/10gt2 for the moeny you can't beat that.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

Do you think they will ever make a SS kit as they never made any Rush kits? Looks pretty good if you want 2-wheel drive but I have been running 4 wheel drive on all 3 of my race vehicles do not think I could ever go back to 2-wheel drive. 4-wheel drive just handles SO MUCH better! It does look like a very good beginner truck like HPI advertises it as.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

it looks okay but i would rather spend a little more money and get a 4wd stadium truck. 4wd way better tan 2wd

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

I don't think my XXXNT is in any danger of leaving home for one of these[&:]

doesn't look bad though...i may snag one for a basher eventually.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

LOL dam TBJ how many cars do u have!!!! and still looking for more!!!!!!!!! i know im still looking at the moment im looking for a cheap thunder tiger ducani R999 nitro motor cycle..............what do u think

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

That truck looks like a knock off of two other STs released this year:eek:

A SS kit could be cool. However, they would need something new brought to the table instead a copy of some other great truck.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

what trucks are your talking about?????????

i think it looks like the GT2 in the front but in the rear it looks like a jato..............but u gotta rember its a ST there isnt much diffrence between most of them!

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

there were two ST's released this year? LOL. this truck looks like it has more in common with the old Nitro Rush than any other stadium truck IMO.

I suppose that HPI is just some company that copies other peoples' designs, eh? more to the point, the Firestorm was probably in the late stages of development when the GT2 came out, so any resemblance to IT is either completely coincidental, or you just can't tell the differences between two different stadium trucks.

I like it, but after serious deliberation, I don't plan to buy one

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

I just bought a ducati, I went electric over nitro... tuning hassles on something with two wheels persuaded me to go electric. Besides, they are getting faster runs out of the electrics when modified... but either way, check one out, they are definitely cool!!

as for the Firestorm, I thought about it, then decided to pass... I don't race, so I'd rather run 4WD, and besides I have entirely too many rc cars!!

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

Anyone know the release date?

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

i thought it was like an MT 2 remix. isn't that the mt 2 body? i think i might get the body and put it on my mt 2 though.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

it is RWD not AWD... it is an update to the Rush.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

i kinda figured that after a while because they did discontinue the rush.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

heres a video.. found by djheptic...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO7IP_p9ilY

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

has anyone found a release date yet?

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

I am going to quite going to HPI web site and looking at it as the more I look at it the better I like it. I do believe it is going to be a great truck and give some others a fit on the track.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

LOLOLOLOL i can't help but go to the site every once in a while to!!!!!

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

i look like 10 times a day for my back order at tower just to see if its been shipped, I hope its released by x-mas the guys at my lhs said theyll be getting them in after the first of the year, and from what they heard its going to give gt2 owners some problems...

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

OUCH the GT2 owners HIDE!!!!!!!! LOL tower says mid december is the release date.................and to day is the 15th of december so u know what that means?????? tower is goin to list is now as LATE DECEMBER!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOL god i hate tower

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

don't hate tower, hate HPI. Tower is not at fault, its HPI and their manufacturers of the products for the delay. When a company states a deadline and can not make it, they are forced to tell their retailers that its going to be pushed back.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

that is so true..kemo..when i e-mailed hpi..hopefully they werent lying, they said trucks were shipped out to stores on wed. and thur. so should be available anytime.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
 

I hope i see the car soon here in the Netherlands. This car is fast !!
