stretch Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 First off do you have electric or nitro fs as first you mention battery and then the 'engine'? Have you checked battery voltage? Channels setup correctly? EPA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channels setup correctly? EPA? Ah sorry it's the e-firestorm flux electric,the battery is fine i have checked the voltage and the wheels turn if i accelerate just no servo movement.

stretch Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Have you checked servo connector to rx? Have you got it in the right way? If you turn the steering by hand does the servo move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merch Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Have you checked servo connector to rx? Have you got it in the right way? If you turn the steering by hand does the servo move? All wires are in the right place nothing has been touched since i last used it when i turn it by hand the servo moves and bounces back to where it was.

Relativenewbyseb Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Think my new used fs looks quite mean with nanda blocks, bit thin at the back possibly though Was surprised it actually turned up as I bought it off gumtree but got it for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) flux and non flux parts are the same, only thing that makes it a flux is the brushless system. The first flux's had silver shells and no waterproof rx box. what have you got wrapped around the battery?

Relativenewbyseb Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Oh right that's fine then hahah, can always hope you get something more :-DIt's some padding I have around my zippy lipo as I have been using the brushless and lipos in my Df02 which has gaps in the battery compartment so it was to protect it, my 3 lipos are all compact ones so I could virtually fit two 3s in parallel in the tray side by sideFirst impressions of the firestorm are it is a much better jumper obviously and it's so quiet compared to my Df02 however I actually think it's slightly slower with the same etronix photon 13t system, 3s lipo and nanda blocks on mip hex adapters, however nothings broken yet ( touch wood) compared to something going every run with the tamiyaSent from my LT30p using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativenewbyseb Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Also the box the guy gave me is for the new flux with different shell that's why, I dunno anyway he didn't seem to like using any form of communication anyway when I bought so I was lucky I actually got somethingSent from my LT30p using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 the padding will probably cause your batteries to run hotter, fs normally comes with foam blocks to put at the ends, your better off getting batteries that fit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativenewbyseb Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yeah but luckily they don't even get warm tonthem touch really so at the moment nothing to worry about, I bought the fs (yes this may sound wierd) so that I would stop buying things as I'm a teenager without a job and most things are done diy, the batteries were to fit the Df02 so I just have a padded battery bar which holds them in place fine Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativenewbyseb Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Relatively small jump, (definitely compared to ones I've seen on here before haha) and a slight misleading on the back right wheel but nothing serious and this happens :-( Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 never had that happen before, what 17mm hex's it running? is it using extenders or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativenewbyseb Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Mip ones so it extends the wheel slightly but not a huge amount, I was told the fs was durable haha Everything else is fine, what front/rear bumper or combo would you recommend also?Sent from my LT30p using TapatalkThey cost nearly 12 quid for two!Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk They cost nearly 12 quid for two! Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk I'd lose the Nandas and go back to normal 12mm hex, probably snapped cause of the bigger size and it is extended. Look at getting T-bone front and rear bumpers. They are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativenewbyseb Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Yeah its a shame really as u get so much more grip with the nandas than stock on both grass and tarmac without them wearing out in like 2 runs I found 2 axles for 6 quid on ebay so I shall see, if I break one quickly again then I will probably have to go back to 12mm ok I'll have a look at the t bones cheers mate, guessing the rpm one is pointless/not worth it compared to t bone Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk Edited April 13, 2014 by Relativenewbyseb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 My stocks lasted ages on grass. Go for tbone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativenewbyseb Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yeah grass they are fine for lasting ages but not on tarmac unfortunately which I'm on quite a lot :-( Ok tbones it is then cheersSent from my LT30p using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativenewbyseb Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 For ordering from the us what cost will start getting customs cost etc? Would it incur when ordering the tbones as they are only like 12 dollars plus 5 shippingSent from my LT30p using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
