Hpi Firestorm RTR good or bad???
 

alright so im looking to buy a nitro truck that I can have a blast with and maybe even race at the track so what does everyone thing about the Firestorm?

Being an Ex Hobby Shop owner I can tell you that most hobby shops will not cary parts in stock for that vehicle. You will probably be ordering most of your parts online for it. I would suggest purchasing a vehicle that your local hobby shop carries parts in stock for. This way if it breaks you can fix it rather quickly and enjoy it more often.

get an 1/8th scale truggy, way better and more durable and alot easier to get parts for. the firestorm is a 1/10th scale and will break more and most tracks will not have a class for it.

I have a firestorm and I can say Mine has been to Afghanistan and back and it is good. I have flipped it in every direction and nothing has broke. I like the steel gears in the transmission. Not many buggys have this, most have nylon gears.

Good to know, Thanks for the posts.

my 2 cents:

You should just get a 1/8 truggy, they are better, stronger, you can race it, bash it, and you can get parts on most LHS
