mine was reving really high tried the idle and other things ajusted servos turned out in the end it was a broken clutch shoe all sorted now though just need some good weather so i can tune it right
@sledgezfx someone told me the clutch spring of the mt2 fits to the firestorm & the mt2 spring you can buy. but i dont now how much it is in you country. in germany it costs about 20€
Actually the entire thing was stock....by the end the only thing we broke was the spur gear......and we also removed most of the paint from the body ;)
...although the fuel used makes a big difference. we actually used a cheaper fuel in the video before we learned there were better brands...we were noobs when we made this.
yeah you can get it to go 60 with a damn 150-200 dollar lipo and the expencive lipo compatable charger not worth it in my eyes. and 300+ just for the flux? i will not do that. not worth the extra 20 mph
I'm only familiar with the firestorm so I can't say which is better. However I can tell you that me and my Brother-in-law both have a Firestorm, and are very satisfied customers.
The car you see in the video was on it's first spur gear. It survived the break in and some other runs before we took it to Quartzsite. After that we did everything you see in the video to it. We recorded an hours worth of film. Many wrecks aren't shown on the video. Finally after all that, we stripped the spur gear. That's reliability!
it aint as hard as you think i used to race electric and all the electric boffins say "dont mess with nitro they are shit" an all this. i raced electric for a couple of years then i decided to go nitro so i bought this car. i have to say nitro pisses all over electric and aslong as your capable with a screw driver they just as easy as electric:)

how does the firestorm handle, wondering if the 2wd rwd effects the handling?
masterzun15 2 years ago
It handles very nice, I have a flux which is the brushless electric, it goes as fast as the nitro with a 7 cell battery. But i love it

what's the difference between the hellfire and firestorm?
xXSadSnowflakeXx 2 years ago
I believe the hellfire is a 1/8th scale as opposed to the firestorm which is 1/10. Also the hellfire is 4WD I believe
