are these the black or chrome wheels? and how much posted

what do you mean by bore is stiff in the liner re the engine

as the title says wanted nitro firestorm parts, nothing in particular just interested in whats available tyres, wheels, shells, engines, hop up parts or random spares.

Thanks mate just need to sort out some decent tyres for a few different surfaces so we can play proper that little run killed a pair of dirt paws

Is there any reason why I can't put bigger wheels on my firestorm st I was thinking about maybe 1/8 buggy wheels as I would like a bit more ground clearance when on grass. Are there any 1/8 buggies that use 12mm hex or will I also need converters

Well we got there a bit late and only got the firestorms out for 10mins before the rain attacked so I went out and bought some dirt hawgs Instead.

don't you just hate when the postie doesn't bring what he should have? was waiting for a pair of 2.2 pro-line dirt paw's for the firestorm that should have been here yesterday, looking at the weather for tomorrow I could have done with them sick is not the word.

anyone know of a cooling head that would fit the nitro star g3.0 engine fitted to the firestorm I cant seem to find an after market one. anyone tried one from a bigger engine.

does the force 3.5 engine include carb? and will any of those exhausts fit?

thanks guys sorry for the late reply carl im in birtley.

thought I would say hi, been on the forum for a bit now reading info mostly. my son and I both have nitro firestorms we called into the last north east bashers meet at Washington and met a few of the guys. anyhow hello from us.

.

called down to collect some wheels of mick1979 1st time ive been to a meet and my son was a little exited watching the 1:5 cars and is begging me for a losi 5t (just like the black one dad). haha no chance son not till I get a Baja 1st. anyway grass was a bit long for our nitro firestorms but still a cracking morning.

mick ill take both pairs of firestorm wheels off you at f-pit meet

mick ill take both sets of wheels mate

any of you guys got some 2.2 rear tyres, whickham thornes bmx track today with my son and both our firestorm 10t's now have slick rear tyres. was planning on coming down to f-pit for our 1st meeting. may still call down to watch for a bit

I tighten the bolts when the engine is hot and also put a v thin nut on the end of a slightly longer bolt also red Loctite will work but is difficult to remove due to the extra strength it has.

fuel line is in good condition couple months old

when a new plug is put in when the engine is hot or cold it will instantly start, no vapour locks and moved the fuel line away from the engine already. I used to build tune and prepare 1:1 race engines for Hondas but these little engine have got me hooked im lovin the bloody things.

engine has loads of compression and has been checked for air leaks lsn it set 1/4 in from base setting and hsn approx. 1/2 going to try again with the tune again tomorrow

yeah ive checked and retuned a few times. the plugs are always wet when I remove them

Hey guys, my 1st post but ive be on the forum for a while reading/learning my son and i have each a firestorm 10t and im have some problems with one of them. I am using a lot of glow plugs the engines are hpi/nitro star g3.0 .18 each time were out his car will cut out and wont start again after anything from 30mins to 1hr when I get home and pull the plug its not glowing when I check it. put a new one in and it fires up instantly ive tried medium plugs and am now trying a super cool plug ive tuned both engines myself and have many times checked the temps they are never lower than 170F and no higher than 210F fuel im using is hpi 20% it is only 1 of the engines that is constantly blowing plugs ive been told by people and read everywhere that the .18 engine on 20% fuel should be running the medium plug eventhough the manual says cold plugs. the good engine is running a medium plug and is running great.
