RE: Official E-FIRESTORM thread

Passed the 50 mark it is nigh uncontrollable, I agree. The nose is almost never on the ground to steer. Specially with a T-Bone bumper. It acts like a wing and just pushes it up. I have had no issues...

RE: Official E-FIRESTORM thread

That looks like a good spot, Nitro. I wish there were more tracks around here. But as I've said before, the indoor track at the lhs is pretty much it. And with the V550 in the Storm, no way would it...

RE: Official E-FIRESTORM thread

I think i mighta found a guy to buy my Ultra MBX, Hopefully anyway. I've got roughly half the money for the SS kit, just a bit more.

If I'd quit buying tools, I'd have more money lol.

RE: Official E-FIRESTORM thread

Those PowerStroke shocks do look really cool. And the body with it. Solid package.

Decided on a 5700 4pole. I'm mainly a roadrunner as that's allI havearound here. So it should be what I'm...

RE: Official E-FIRESTORM thread

My 5700 was pushing 170's as well just on 2s and stock gearing after a 7 minute main at the lhs track. And that's a tiny track. I get the impression that the rebadged HPI motors aren't all theyre...

RE: Official E-FIRESTORM thread

I kinda like it, does indeed look like a diaper. lol. But it provides protection to that fan, and if your temps are good, I see no need to change it.. I busted a brand new Castle fan for running it...
