Jernst20 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Impressive! That's it? Seems you faired off quite well And smashed one of the suspension mounts clean off, that's why I like my hpi firestorm, it takes so much bashing and still refuses to break !

Tiernan85 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yep. Had it out today. Only damage was a couple popped turnbuckles. Showed a few losi 5ives up in a race too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showed a few losi 5ives up in a race too lol I normally get that, I always carry a pair of pliers, that way I can just pop it back in. I like losi 5ives but they weigh so much and that's why most cars will beat them in a race Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiernan85 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yea they are heavy. Had a Baja for a few years. Much quicker, but had a lot of mods. Looking to get into largescale again but may get the dbxl. Had a rip with one today and quite enjoyed it. But the firestorm is easily the most durable rc I've owned to date. It really takes massive amounts of abuse and keeps coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really takes massive amounts of abuse and keeps coming back. Personally I think along with many other people think losi cheaped out on some of the parts, therefore reducing durability meaning more money is spent on parts to keep it running rather than upgrading it. If I was you I would go back to the Baja and get an ss rather than a 5ive or a dbxl Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiernan85 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Will definitely take that on board before I make a decision. Likely a few months away and will do some research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernst20 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 If I had the money to I would go into 5th scale, but I don't. But the firestorm is 1/8th lets be honest when you compare it to a 1/10th scale buggy or even desert truck its a lot longer.

Tiernan85 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I hear what you're saying. But at the same time, if you put it up against a 1/8 truggy or buggy it does look smaller. But I agree it's larger than 1/10 buggys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 This might of been mentioned before but does anyone know what the biggest 3s battery you can fit in the firestorm is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiernan85 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 It has been mentioned. But since then, battery options and sizes have changed. It also depends if you're using the standard battery latch or the taller 3s battery latch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jernst20 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) i have a floureon 5500mah 3s that fits in my firestorm, its tight, but works, I agree that is probably the biggest battery you can fit without modding anything.

Brandon Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Thank buddy! Are these batteries any good? I'm assuming that they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiernan85 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Never run them myself. Hopefully the others chime in. I imagine if they're using them without complaints, they should be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yeah that's true! I would just stick with the nano tech batteries but both the batteries have split the plastic case so it's showing the cells inside so I just wanted to see maybe if anyone knew wether they had problems with the plastic splitting on the Fluorine ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jernst20 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Thank buddy! Are these batteries any good? I'm assuming that they are. I own one of these and am very impressed, they last a long time and although they are soft packs, they are quite durable I have had no problems with the plastic casing splitting.

everclear1984 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Can someone tell me how the tbone bumper attaches to the rear of the truck? Going by the pics on the website it looks like they use the 4 bolts on the underside of the chassis but mine has a lip so I don't see how it would sit flush.
