Stupid questions whilst waiting for Top Gear to start...How do firestorms compare to the associated 4t kit and the newish Losi22T kit? if you took the electrics out of a flux storm and put it in those kits wonder what would drive best? Both of those kits have better chassis and hardware supposedly but would it really make a noticeable difference?

Mines been fine on 3s. The dirt paws are a very hard compound and the gladiators are wrapped with gorilla tape so they dont balloon.
