Default RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-

Well, its kinda hard to start, and once started does not like to stay running.[:@] I got it to take off once but it stalled as soon as I let up on the throttle. Do you think I might have damaged it with a spike in temp that high? I was thinking of putting the old plug back in and seeing if it will stay running again. I figured if it does then I need to seriously retune for a colder plug or maybe go to a medium plug. What do you think?

Also, the post I made above with the tire thing, I tore a front tire about 1/4" to less than 1/2" from the bead. It's a pretty clean tear and not too bad so I decided to use some medium CA glue to fix the tear. Doy you think it will work and hold up to some bashing untill I get to the hobby shop for a new set of tires?

What kind of front tires can I get for it? What size and type? No one carries Firestorm parts anywhere near me so another brand will have to do.
