HPI E-Firestorm, How to install Pro-Line Torque Wheels and Dirt Hawg Tires

There are limited choices for the E-Firestorm when it comes to aftermarket wheels. I picked these wheels and tires preglued up at my local Hobbytown USA, then I modified them to fit the truck. This video outlined the tools necessary, the parts I used, and how I fit them on the truck. It's very simple. You can use this method to fit almost any wheel that will fit a Traxxas Rustler onto an HPI E-Firestorm or E-Firestorm 10T Flux. Remember, Subscribe, rate and comment. Thanks for watching!

does it more bigger ?

[donaldcreason]

@hondatmx The wheel diameter is larger, the overall package is slightly larger but not enough that it drastically affects performance.

I need to get some new rears for mine. I need more traction for running one loose dirt. I think I might need something a little more agressive on mine. I will have to look around. Great vid once again, bro!

[donaldcreason]

@Leprechaun79 Just about any wheel/tire combo that will work for the Rustler will work using this method. I don't have a lot of loose dirt to run in around here so I chose the dirthawgs which seem to do good on asphault, grass and hard dirt.

are you sponsered by pro-line?

[donaldcreason]

@stampedevxl no I'm not sponsored, LOL!, I just did this vid b/c I found these wheels at the hobbystore and realy liked them, I have not found much in the way of aftermarket wheels or tires for the e-firestorm.

poza tym nie polecam wiercić bo nigdy nie zrobisz tego dobrze i będzie bicie, polecam rozwiercić na tokarce, a co do opony takie rzeczy się klei !!! klej cyjanoakrylowy np. superglue i nie trzeba kombinować z wiertarką ;D

[bpfajeep]

just put traxxas hexs on your axles then u can run those wheels . or most any wheel that was a big waste of time

[traxxaskids]

@Leprechaun79 if you wanna run big offroad stuff get some jconcepts rocx tires, got them fro my rustler yesterday and they work awesoome

filozofij żadnej tu nie pokazałeś ;D w Polsce takie przeróbki to codzienność ;D

[Tupples1]

name of tires please

[450hp202turbo]

never dill your rims it allows sand to enter through the hole and it puffs the tires up . i dill the tire it self 4 holes around the center this lets air out and the sand cant really enter as its rotating if it dose it finds its way out

[redfisher1974]

Really a bad idea to drill out the rims, much better off to spend $3 on 4 traxxas hubs part #1654 and replace the HPI hubs with the Traxxas hubs... Fits perfect and you will not screw up your balance buy drilling the hole off center etc.

@69benzboy69 That's a T-Bone Racing rear bumper (notice that he also has the front bumper). They sell these on ebay either as a kit with both bumpers or just the rear one with a pair of small wheels so it also works as a wheelie bar. Just search on ebay and you will find them! :)

[SuperDrift12]

lol any1 els notice the cat?........ but nice vid it reallly helped!

[69benzboy69]

Hey, thanks for uploading the video :). I noticed you have a guard under your motor any chance you could tell me where you got it from?, my firestorm is forever being crashed and the original motor guard on mine is a wreck :). Thanks
