hey guys, i just found proof of the firestorm 2wd truck coming out, as was being talked about a few pages back. its up on hobby people .net. don't bother checking it out or anything yet, they don't even have a picture or anything, but now we know that hpi IS making it. sort of interesting i guess.

how do you think we pay for our parts and other toys we own

I know i couldn't be in this hobby if I didn't have a job.

hey guys if i got a new 13t cb could i run it on the stock 49t spur gear or would i have to get a new spur as well???

i don't have a job []. yet. but im planning on starting at my lhs pretty soon. it is tough doing any of this on such little money. but guys, i had a couple of questions...does anyone here run any good bodies besides the stock one? (which one, easy to fit?) and also, ive read that the stock gearing is a little skimpy on the low end, and that the stock suspension is a bit soft. any recomendations?

i have another question my first was, if i got a new 13t cb could i run it on the stock 49t spur gear or would i have to get a new spur as well... and my second question is, should i adjust the gear mesh after installing the 13t cb or can it stay the same as when i had on the 15t cb???

Yes it should work. You must have the SS if you have a 49t spur.

Yes you have to adjust the mesh if you change the CB!!!!!!!!

yes it is the ss i dont run rtr trucks cause it doesnt seem like much of a hobby if i dont put it together and personalize it the way i want

I do not do RTR either as you just end up with a MUCH better vehicle starting with a kit.

thanks 46u, i just wasnt sure if it would work because i got the 13t vented cb and it came with a chart that suggested that it wouldnt work with the 49t spur but i guess that is only for the svage engines

I hope I do not end up eating crow but it should work if you have enough adjustment in the slots for the motor mounts on the chassis. I know I had some problems when gearing mine do to the slots but cannot remember what it was. If you want to gear it down and cannot use the 13CB you can get a 52t spur. But the infromation that comes with the CB is for the Savage. Sorry if I gave you wrong information!!![X(]

Do you have a link as I looked and could not find it right off hand?

yeah i guess i could do that but if i used a 52t spur as opposed to the 49t spur wouldnt that decrease the acceleration and increase overall speed?? im going for acceleration the top speed isnt that important to me

To gear up more top end you go up on the CB or down on the Spur.
To gear for more low end or torque you go down on the CB or up on the spur.
So a 52 tooth spur would be a lower gear then a 49 spur.

okay so i should get a 52t spur for the best acceleration thanx

thats all the evidence we have so far. there's nothing there but the name.

Now all me need is to see some pictures.

does anybody know when the firestorm is schedualed to come out??

I have check all of HPI web sites that are in English and they have not even said anything about it so who knows?
