sorry this is my 1st post guys,
Just looking into getting one of these, possibly 2nd hand. I used to have a savage x nitro truck, spent about £400-£600 on it, and then sold it on ebay about 2 years after buying it.... now I want another toy, but think i'm going electric....

ive got a firestorm, just waiting on a ezrun brushless combo to turn up from china, cant wait

Any tips on the diff? I have dismantled it already but when I fastened it all back up I found the diff cups hard to turn an I had to back off the screws a little to get them turning a bit easier!

i've got a losi xcelleron brushless system in mine, its the 4800 one, Just wondering what voltage batteries to get, its currently running on 7.4v, but wondered if the 8.2v would be too much for it?

are you using lipo or nimh?

nimh at the moment..... and think i'll stick with them for now.

I would need to spend a whole lot of money to run lipo's.

Yeah its all upto me, its my car ...

Will it damage the motor in any way tho?

[joe of loath]

Nope, the motor will be good up to about 12v.
