BoutTime Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Thanks Gents. I've left them with no holes in either the wheels or tyres. I'll see how I go. Things I've noticed so far: They don't compress as much as stock due to no hole.The front wheels with Trenchers fitted shimmy in reverse.The rear Trenchers hardly balloon at all when doing donuts. I'm actually not sure if there is any benefit to having Trenchers on the front. Atleast on hard ground such as block paving. Loose mud or grass may be different and they may help with steering by digging in better. Cheers.

The only breakage I see happening there is a snapped suspension arm if you clip a tree, which of course I've never done ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldigger Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Apologies if this has been covered, took the firestorm out yesterday and both turnigy 3S lipos ended up hot and puffed up looking like there were about to burst. Time to get new lipos I think. Any recommendations? What discharge rating? Think the ones I have are 35-70c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 @Goldigger It depends on the capacity as well as the C rating. https://www.kritikalmass.net/battery-calculator/ Are you using the stock brushless setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldigger Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Yes stock brushless setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldigger Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Turnigy nanotech 3S 5000mah 35-70C, all I want to know is what C rating people recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be fine in an e-firestorm so I think something is wrong with your setup. I use 5000mah 3s 50c batteries in a Pro MT 4x4 with a castle 1515 motor, that pulls a lot more amps and current than the stock E-Firestorm.

Goldigger Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Maybe a reset of the ESC is needed, will try that and see if it makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
