I said Rustler. Im a Traxxas fan tried and true. I dont know anything about the Firestorm. to be quite honest, I doubt many if any of the ppl who posted know anything about them either. They just say Firestorm coz its the "non-TRAXXAS". Having a RS4 Im not completely sold on HPI yet. Sure they are decent RC's, but Id take a Ofna GPX4 over any RS4 anyday. My buddy has a HPI Baja 5B coming, will be here Monday, so maybe that will impress me more about HPI, But then again, you cant compare a 1/5 Gas to any sized Nitro. They are in a league that far excedes Nitros.
