chrisw:We run our trucks at our 10 acre lot.We have a track in our woods.
NLRC:Yes I have the Nitro version of the Storm.It is very Savage like with it's durability + ST style quickness!Very fun to drive!I spent only 20-30$ in repairs and I put 4.5 gal through it!
The wheels and tires are not...
Everyone likes a few pics now and then,I know I do,so here are a few pics of our collection.My bro(stevage) just got a HPI Baja 5b SS and has his highly modified savy on ebay,but has no bids on it yet.The Firestorm is mine.:cool: I got lucky and took a nice Baja wheelie action shot!Also,a few...
Don't you have your stock pull start???If not,get it here: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDLN5&P=Z And here's another one-way bearing: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDLN7&P=Z
To be honest,I like the Firestorm's pull start better than roto start.My pull start has lived almost throughout the engine's entire lifetime.
Some people might disagree,but I find roto start a pain in pants!Why not just use a pull start,that way you don't have to lug the roto around all the...
A lot of people think its the steering servo,but it really is the servo saver.It comes very loose from the factory.Tighten it up and apply thread locker to the bolt and you will have ultimate steering radius!
I have a hunch that,in a few years,there will be a nitro Firestorm worthy of racing a GT2.HPI doesn't really have any race competitive trucks yet.The Firestorm gives that statement a bit of slack.Firestorms at the track tend to carry a rear end spin which can be fixed by shifting the weight...
To be honest,I have no dislikes of the Firestorm,besides the light-weight a-arms that come on all STs.
Its very easy to tune,plenty of power,and of course Sweet looking.It has savage style ruggedness commbined with ST quickness.Its really fun to watch!
I posted some videos on the Photos and...

:resp: OOOOOOO!AAAAAHHH!Look at my shiny Firestorm!I'm waiting for my new engine(OS .18 CV-RX) so I decided I'd strip it down and clean and shine it up.This thing is soooo easy to work on!Remove the upper deck and all the electronics and the fuel tank come up with it!The steering servo is the...
Jester,yep thats my little brother,but he said he aint trying it!lol
We have a new track in our backwoods!I took the skidsteer one day and tore up the woods and made a oval track with a double,table-top,and bumps.Its nothing to look at,but eh,gets the job done...

I have a Mini LST2 and the steering servos stripped on the third run.....This one you should check out! http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTDU6&P=ML .
This one will satify you maybe more than the kids!!: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUHD1**&P=ML
Here's a video I put together of my bro's savage W/LRP Spec 3 engine and of my Firestorm W/moabs!(I should have put the stock Firestorm race tires on,as I needed acceleration more than anything.I also needed to tune the HSN and the LSN,as the temps went no further than 210*).In summary we had a...
