RE: Official E-FIRESTORM thread
Hi guys!! Nice to find a thread delicated for E-firestorm here!
I will be getting the E-firestorm 10T (Non-flux version)... Remove all the electronics. [:-] And load my Tekin R1Pro with 4800kv motor into the storm...[:-] I'll be getting the HPI option as well like Uni-drive shaft, Alu suspension mounts/braces and Alu shocks for it.
Anyone here ever kill the stock turnbuckle? I'm wondering if the stock turnbuckle are durable enough... Those HPI titanium turnbuckle is not cheap, does it justifly the cost? Please advise here...
Thanks in advance guys!!

Another prob with his ESC is that the fan on the ESC comes off the motor by itself.

Runs cool to....I might try to go up to a 21t pinion and see if i can touch 40mph if the temps stay low..You might have to play around with the settings untill you get it where you like it...

stock turnbuckles are just steel turnbuckles.i replaced as soon as i got my Flux just because i wanted some color contrast.they will break with a hard enough impact.i have snapped titanium ones as well on my Savage.the choice is yours.i dont think the HPI's are that expensive compared to the Lunsfords.

I went with Lunsford GT2/T4 turnbuckles....Amazing
Well last night I began to build my shocks(HPI Options) and the aluminum collars are wayyyyy to loose. Yes the O-ring was installed. I purchased some new ones and will be contacting HPI regarding the issue. Also I have all four of the conposite arms on and shimmed everything with a Losi shim kit. NOW SLOP IN THIS TRUCK AT ALL NOW.

Can anyone tell me the reason why of most 2wd truck racers like to used ribbed tire on the front instead of all round SAME as the rear. Please enlighten me as i'm still newbie on stadium truck.

For some tips here from my past buggy experience. It will be good to have some little free play fore/back moment on the all arms. This is to ensure that between the arms and the suspension mount have no build up dirt/dust to prevent any jam on the suspension moment.

I built mine a couple of weeks back, and the opposite is true of mine, they are almost too tight to adjust, which doesn't matter too much really, but compared to the TRF dampers on my durga they are very tight.
Cheers!

RE: Official E-FIRESTORM thread
Ive orderd a set of Proline Masher tyres for the rear of my flux,...and was wondering what i have to modify to run these...(pinion, spur etc..)? The overall diameter of these masher tyres are about 1 inch more than the originals.
I was thinking maybe a 17 tooth pinion or would i need to go lower?
