heya all - i was wondering how durable the new firestorm is. i know its fast and powerful, but those 2 things mean nothing to me if the truck is gonna fall apart when it lands a big jump. ive never run a nitro before but i want to upgrade from the electrics because their just not fast enough lol. i had a first gen rustler and i now have an emaxx and a new stampede. i guess its also relevant to ask if the firestorm is good for nitro noobs lol. ill be running it in a massive sand and gravel company quarry, so lots of sand and jumps


thanks


also - can someone give me a list of exactly what i need to maintain it (oils and such) and what to get exactly. i know i need:
-a fuel bottle
-a glow starter
-a 5 cell reciever pack (ok not need but want)
-GLOW PLUGS (which best for break in? and normal running?)
-oils (do i need air filter oil? what about after-run?)

am i missing anything? i also dont know anymore how to break in an engine in a car so if anyone has a good reliable guide to it, please tell

one last thing - does the AM radio suck? cuz i have the traxxas TQ from my stampede or the TQ3 from my emaxx i can drop in and im pretty sure their both FM.

Is water good for a DUCK [&:] heck yea stormy is a good basheer but as for the list I'm to picky according to the area. I might change things from one pit to the next[:-]

The only thing that sucks about the firestorm at the moment is that it's hard as hell to get parts for it when it breaks. I've been waiting for over a month for my front bulkhead from Tower.

yeah me too
