I had a Duratrax Piranha 3000mAh before switching to Lipo.
It's a complete different driving experience.
Be ready for mind blowing fun when you buy it!
After the Lipo experience my Piranha went to the trash...

Hey that looks great, How did the body fit?

Stryker USMC

Awesome job! That is a great looking Storm.

Are those real beadlock wheels?

I love how the body fit.

redfisher1974

Well its been above 0 for a few days, if the roads dry up I may get out for a run...

Stryker USMC

It's going to hit 50 degrees today and tomorrow. Hopefully it's not too wet so we can run our today too. The rain coming on Sunday should get rid of the rest of the snow.

Heading out to HobbyTown today. Let's see what I come home with.

redfisher1974

A 2.4ghz radio,Brushless setup, 3s lipo and charger....ESE motor plate with heat sink.

Stryker USMC

Wouldn't that be nice.

HPI E Firestorm

Stryker USMC-Those are real beadlocks yes.

HPI E Firestorm

nitro-rob

HPI storm - thats a great looking truck. I'm feeling the warm here too and am waiting for it to dry.

Stryker USMC

THAT is what they are called. I'm going to look for those power poles when I go to HobbyTown.

Thanks for the reminder.

nitro newby

It's warmed up some here the roads have been dry for days and yesterday our yard dried out and
hpi my pics are only 2 of a broken piece Wil take more later

nitro-rob

I picked up a camber gauge the other day and think I will pick up a toe gauge too. My storm is set up with two degrees of negative camber front and rear as a starting point. I will measure the ride height and fill out a setup sheet and start following this a bit more.

redfisher1974

They also are called Sermo's connectors and duratrax makes a clone of them too.

redfisher1974

Get a good pair of crimpers like these,

DarksideVR

HPI that GTR body looks sweet nice

nitro newby

Just got back from my grandads got to run my efs out in the open in gravel roads and a field it was awesome didnt got hot either although it's only like 50 degrees outside

powerslider

I use those on everything, have for many years. They are Anderson Powerpoles, look on the end of the plastic plug. In very small letters is Anderson Power. I always solder the ends and they do make different sizes for larger wires. Great product....

redfisher1974

Do you have the anderson crimper?

powerslider

I don't have the crimper but my neighbor does, his wheel chair uses those connectors and he had to replace some of them so he bought the pliers and a bunch of connectors. He crimps his but I've always soldered mine, they work great either way...
