I need to move from nitro to electric. Is it easier to rebuild and fix if stuff goes wrong

Hey. Nice vid. Did you use the included spure gears for max speed or just the regular ones?:)

Nice driving down the twisted path 😂👍🏼

Hi, thanks for the small review but I wanted to ask what are the name of the rear tires? And how much is the spur and the pinion gear on this car?

I've liked and subscribed

Maybe some wheel weights up front and replace a few plastic parts for metal, it might reduce the drag under the car avoiding it from take off using 3s, Great video btw, I have now got one of these on my list. (perfect for the beach in summer)

@@RCTanksTrucks247 Hey there. It's been two years, but I have some advice. The lower rear suspension arms can be turned around, that's why it has shock mounts on both sides. In stock configuration it's made for wheelies, but you can tune it for better stability. Next to that the three foam pieces in the battery tray can be placed differently to change the weight distribution to the front. Just put all foam blocks into the rear and the battery into the front. You could reduce the tension on the slipper cluch, but then you'd need to replace the clutch disks more often. It's cheaper than replacing the diff outputs and axles though.

how fast would you say it goes? great video btw

Thanks for the vid. This is my go to RC. I purchased this version of the firestorm when it was first released and I have not had one issue. Oh except for the wobbly spur gear. Can never get it to stay straight and when I do it moves back again after a hard. Still my favourite!

+Bigbok thanks man. Nah it's stock. Awesome rc though

are they plastic shocks? also are there a lot of metal parts or no?

how to make a wheel spin ?

is that the stock gearing or the speed gearing

Do you have to do some custom modding to fit a go pro on it? Or do these RC car produsents come with a standard mounting? (Something similar would be ATX motherboard and PSU in a pc)

+Skyfx you can just stick any gopro mount on the flat surface of the body and it should be fine

I'm new to rc vehicles. How would you rate this compare to a redcat terremoto? I'm debating on which one to get. I'm a speed hound, so am also intrigued by the 77mph boast. Thanks for the review.

Do you have the emh 3s esc in this Firestorm?..... if you do does it make a chiming noise when you turn it on and beep to count the number of cells its reading of the lipo? I ask this question because I have just installed the emh 3s esc in my WR8 and there is no chime on start up so I don't know if it supposed to or not?
