that is a chopped up video of mine, but if you click on the other firestorm vids you can see what it can do |
RE: hpi firestorm
Can't get my Firestorm to start, seems like it dosen't gets enough fuel or something [:o]
|
RE: hpi firestorm
or your getting too much fuel, if you harpin on it for a bit, pull the glow plug and check it, if that isnt the case richen it a tad, also make sure all of your bolts are tight, I have heard of a few peoples engine bolts being loose. Plus the video I posted if you notice I have to bring my throttle trim up a tad just to get it started then I can drop it.
hopefully that will help a little bit, Oh and if it is flooding then lean it out a small bit |
RE: hpi firestorm
did anyone have trouble tuning it or get it to run and is there good upgrades for it to make it quicker or better.
|
RE: hpi firestorm
clutch bells, and as it stands right now with half a gal through mine i rarely make any major changes to my setup
but the clutch bells are a huge difference in speed/accel. Definatly the first I would get for that, otherwise spend the money for the rotostart setup |
RE: hpi firestorm
i am gunna order the roto start for mine next week but how many tooth clutch bell should i get.
|
RE: hpi firestorm
Depends on what you want, lowend or high end. I have the 21 tooth on right now which brings it over 40 mph but it still can make a few donuts, and that is the highest tooth you can go right now
|
RE: hpi firestorm
could i go 21 one cb with the stock gear.
|
RE: hpi firestorm
yeah
|
RE: hpi firestorm
does it give it less accelaration
|
RE: hpi firestorm
yea, but not exactly noticable
|
RE: hpi firestorm
Yea ive always had to bring up my throttle trim a bit to get it started but it runs like a dream after that...

RE: hpi firestorm
i am thinking of the firestorm
this would be my first car is it to fast/to hard to handle? |
RE: hpi firestorm
it isn't too bad, but a good first car as if you do smash it, it is fairly durable so it may not break as bad as another one would
|
RE: hpi firestorm
lol £50 the first time i crashed mine at top speed

After a radio failure my firestorm hit a curb head on at full speed. Bent the upper deck to amazing shapes (pics included) and shattered the front bulkhead. £20.98 to repair! Everything else survived without damage.
I think it's an amazing piece of kit and would recommend it to anybody. The tuning on the G3.0 engine is very fine but as long as you remember that it's a piece of cake. |
RE: hpi firestorm
Also, if you are going to run your firestorm in wet conditions the reciever box and battery box are not watertight and seem to hold water quite happily.

RE: hpi firestorm
Have had my Firestorm for about 4 months now and love it. It's fast and comes out of the corners like a bear. A few weeks back raced against a couple of rc10's and smoked them. So far it's been a really good truck..............
