get a proven truggy! Jammin, Ofna, Mugen, Xray, AE, Losi, Kyosho, etc. Nobody races HPI, they are bashing vehicles with crappy parts, and not track worthy. The only Good thing to come from HPI is the Savage, and even that is more of a basher, as nobody races em.

hmm... nobody.
–pronoun
1.no person; not anyone; no one:
That's a pretty big statement to say nobody races HPI, not to mention it is false.
If you are going to take the time to type something you should make it something of value to someone.
Maybe you have confused the word with it's noun usage:
–noun
2.a person of no importance, influence, or power.

Your going to have to do some major upgrading to that firestorm from coming apart. My rear shock came apart 5 mins after first time using it and I was not even bashing. Bought it used and sold it within 2 weeks owning it. Like Jaz240 said spend a little more and you can get something better.

LOL, I think you are the only fool who actually races, and I'm sure loses with an HPI. Stop wasting your time attacking me, as I am actually trying to help the guy/kid get something that's worth the money. It doesn't even matter if he's racing or bashing. HPI is crap, and anyone serious about Nitro will agree with me, not you, so stuff it fool!

Dont expect to keep up with truggy, it's 2WD. Decent stuff, Design is based on race truck but you may want better shock like Losi one. Too bad HPI didn't sell this truck as kit without all there electronics ...
And it's raceable

Well since the attack was directly at you, I figured the apology should be directly at you, but you make a good point, so here it is for all to see:
I wanted to apologize for blasting you on the other thread. You may not be the same guy I've been fighting with for 6 months. He just follows my posts, and argues with me. Anyway, I take back the nasty things I said. I really dont enjoy fighting with people, and sometimes I get out of hand when people make it personal. Peace, Jaz

It's cool jaz. I did want to just share this. We just finished our summer outdoor offroad points series. We had 2 E-firestorms in the series. 1 finished 2nd and was drivin by a 11 year old girl

HPI Firestorm
Krupted I don't know who you are but HPI as I read in Rc driver is a leading brand in the U.S. right now. Also they are great entry level r/c vehicles because I raced them all summer and are great machines and I've beat buggies with it. So I'd recomend it and it has a great chassis it's the best r/c gas truck you'll ever buy if you do.
