everclear1984 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I have a weighted upper deck for sale if he's interested. Definitely get that bad boy off-road though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 looks good that weight. took mine out again on 2s and it really isnt as much fun as 3s plus the wheels isnt as grippy as i like it to be. doh! keep forgetting to bring gopro out too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yeah, the weight helps but I have an alu top deck now which is about the same weight. Took mine out today, nearly got through an entire set of those cheap Chinese tyres! Got a bit of footage, I'll post it up when I get chance to look at it. Had to go easy on her though, racing tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiernan85 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Ouch! What are the chances you break your front bumper, then run without and smash the front end!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the chances you break your front bumper, then run without and smash the front end!! Typical, right?! Haha.

stretch Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 thing with alu it doesn't flex so a lot of the time the shock is passed onto something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 The top plate looks nice but makes the front of the chassis far to stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 im guessing that is to slow it down a touch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Best Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 im guessing that is to slow it down a touch? It will make the acceleration a bit more gentle. You still get full power Its just deliveries more gently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 cool cheers mate, il give that a go when i take it out next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Best Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) You might want to change it back if you go back to 2s otherwise it might feel a bit slow Edited April 19, 2015 by Leo Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldigger Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) I crashed my firestorm into my little man's front wheel of his bike... Wiping him out.. He didn't see the funny side. But he was fine after a few tears of shock! Daddy what are you doing to me?? He noticed the front right wheel hanging on by the suspension arm alone. Both turnbuckles popped off the ball joints. I popped them back on with my fingers. I then noticed the ball joint that bolts into the suspension tower had been pulled out of its hole about 3mm. I also pushed it back in with my fingers. You can see in the PIC its not bolted in tight, thread has been stripped. Can I put a nut on the under side or should I replace the suspension tower?
