adam1942 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) So I've had my firestorm 10T for 1 and half years (First Nitro car).. Few pictures of it new (I'm sure you've all seen these).. The last time I was out I trashed the wheels and flipped the buggy wrecking the shell a bit.. so tonight I've sat and looked around and bought the following shell for it which happens to be one of my favourite GT500 cars (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281230406028?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649)... well a slight copy of it anyway! good old "Niassn" and "aulech" etc And then some different wheels as the truggy wheel look wont rock well.. (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390743237588?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648) Should be interesting to see if the parts can be made to fit.. and if I can lower the firestorm enough that it looks decent! p.s. I know that the wheels will be sticking out. Should have about half an inch of wheel either side! Edited April 29, 2014 by adam1942 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1942 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Today I had my two No 8 glow plugs arrive.. Apparently posted on Saturday but I'm not so sure! anyway got one in got the engine tuned up nicely.. Went up to my local playing fields and had a good 30 minutes of blasting around until... dun dun dun.... 10 minutes later and I had it repaired.. Although I need a new?.. Suspension arm I think it is? (plastic cross member from wheel to chassis as theres a crack in the plastic).. luckily the steering servo is alive and working still! Now I'm happily awaiting my new body shell and wheels.. Oh also rolled it tonight about 3-4 times.. The spoiler on the new body shell will _NOT_ last long as @evssv says!

adam1942 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 OK so the wheels arrived today.. sadly the postie couldn't get the shell in my post box (not surprising) so that will need collected tomorrow. I put the wheels on and lowered it fully to see what it looks like.. Its er.. Different that's for sure! looks quite good in real life IMO. The wheels are tiny compared to the old ones so I expect the wheels wont be sticking out half as bad. I'm also loving the camber on the rear wheels! old vs new new left vs old right Tyres on but not lowered Rear old vs new Front lowered rear not wheels old vs new fully lowered Lowered side profile Rear camber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarface87 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Looks good might turn my flux one into a tarmac basher Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.K Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Looks a little better than I first thought, kudos to you for trying something different! You may find that you'll need to change the clutch bell though as the wheels are a lot smaller so you've effectively altered the final ratio. See how you get on!
