Thanks bud not sure what went wrong there, hopefully works now.

Hi all, Unfortunately I need to sell my Firestorm, as space and work mean I don't get to use it anymore Please find the eBay link and description below. Thanks for looking. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222158439296 I'll accept sensible offers from modelsport members

Note to self: Don't show off how large a tyre balloons to, when on 3s and holding one wheel stationary. Fast way to waste money!

Haven't tried 3s on pavement yet, here's it on grass.

Is that on 3s? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

My Pro line wheels and tyres came, had to drill the wheels out slightly for them to fit the HPI hex's. I've lost a fair amount of rear track width though, which looks a bit silly and probably won't handle so well, is there such a thing as extended hex's? Thanks. P.s. 3s is f****ing insane!

P.S Will a 17t pinion on 3s be quicker than the stock 19t on 2s?

Just ordered me a 3s, a set of the Dirt Hawgs on Proline wheels and a 17t Pinion, as I think things will get toasty!

I think I'll be able to make it. Gonna get a 3s and some new tyres for the Firestorm this week so should be absolutely mental!

@Relativenewbyseb Just thinking there might be some water trapped in the foams. @alex97 Yeah gathered it wouldn't be too hard, but don't have any glue. Plus as I say, one of the rear's has a real wobble to it! Cheers for confirming they'd fit though, hopefully they'll be a bit stronger than the stock wheels too.

@Relativenewbyseb Have you been in any water lately? Will these wheels go straight on to the firestorm? Realised tonight that I've managed to really buckle one side (need to stop sliding it into curbs!) and don't fancy gluing tyres myself, unless it's better to?

Ah definitely don't want any more heat, it's running really hot only on 2s. I think I'll go for the Dirt Hawgs then, as long as they offer more grip than the stock rears.

Just putting in an order for parts as the spur is a bit noisy from where the motor slipped and took the top off the gear, but otherwise works fine - a testament to how much this car just wants to work! Whilst I'm at it, which are the better tyres for all-round bashing? Badlands or the Geolandar's?

Bumpity.

I had a bash over at a skate park yesterday, took a hard landing (wheels down) and lost drive. I think the motor may have slipped on it's mounting as it managed to chew the very top of some spur teeth. After getting the mesh right, there's enough left on the spur to still have fun! So remember to loctite your motor mount screws and have a spare spur gear! How are you guys preventing the rear of the chassis from slapping the ground? I've got 40wt oil all round, but I dont want to run full preload as I reckon it will harm the handling of it. Perhaps change the mounting holes?

@Mr_Ambrosius, I've had the FS Flux about 3 weeks now and haven't had a single problem with it (even with full speed crashes), it continues to amaze me every time I take it out. As for upgrades, all you'll need is a set TBone's to start off with, even without the wheelie bar, the rear bumper does a good job at keeping the front wheels down.

Bump

Anyone about this weekend? I have a new E-Firestorm i'd like to bash a bit!

Still for sale, open to offers.

Yeah heard that before stretch, they're just so.. shiny. What's the best way of reducing motor heat, i'm running stock everthing and a 5200mah 2s and I can only hold the motor for ~4s after a good run. I know there's a heat cutoff, but I don't want it too hot, as I'd like to go 3s in the future

Are these worth getting? Great price for this weekend: http://www.jemodels.com/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=prodshow&ref=HPI-HPI104898

Bump

One TBR bumper for my e-firestorm, hopefully the other isn't too far behind - ordered at the same time! Maybe it's been stopped at customs.

Last bump with price drop, will keep it otherwise.
