A tip that helps alot is warm up the motor with a blow dryer or heat gun for a few minutes and after should crank up no problem 😊

Haggard don’t sell this one! Not like the last firestorm you had❤

What a score!

Great video, and sounds like you are a great father.i commend you on patients.

Nice! Thanks for sharing 😊

wauw nice one mate looks like new great firestorm

The chrome wheels that came with it are from the Hpi trophy 3.5 buggy by the look of it bro and you're right about the radio gear. The first firestorms came with crystals and usually had the crustal number on the receiver box. Mine is number 3 lol. It also had a different shell design/paint scheme. You should keep this one bro 👍

Like Christmas all over again!

Just found you dude. Nice to see some one that buys second hand rc cars and works with what they have round them to get them running. I’ll probably arch all your vids over the next few weeks

That's trophy buggy wheel hub carrier, very similar to the ones on the mp9

Awesome job on the box bro you’re mum must have saved all your Christmas rappers lol 😂 Good score if it was the good price bro well done 👍

I got an old Kyosho from a guy that couldn't get it to run. I literally put batteries, fuel and a new plug in and it fired up 3rd pull. Mine had a high idle also, I guessed the seller messed it up trying to get it to run.

Way back when, I had the Kyosho equivalent of that vehicle. Think they referred to it as a "Stadium Truck", the predecessor of today's Short Course craze.40:15 or so. trying to tune a cold engine, while not even burping the throttle, the engine could either load up or starve and stall before any adjustments really take effect. You need to have throttle control to clear out rich conditions, or richen up lean conditions. It's painful watching you mess with adjustments and not 'take a lap' between to see what effect it has, especially when the thing could have had a perfect tune on it and just needed to be run around your yard for a tank. Now you've gone and smudged that all up. Someone sure did love that car. Probably getting hot sitting idling on your bench too. 49:15, is it getting dirty from your bench!? lol clean you bench man! he he I wanna see vids of these resurrected cars running.

Great video and car is running pretty decent. Somehow its a bit strange that the car idles so high. Keep up the great work man. p.s. I think that I saw the new servos for the sworkz😅

It’ll be because it’s sat around for a while, engines often run faster when they’re used to being sat and haven’t ran for a while. I think it’ll settle down once it’s warmed up and ran more. 🤘🏻

Love these videos man i have a nitro car muself i love messing around with it its a lot of fun especially when you get it running niceone keep these videos coming haggard

The muffler is from a team associated MGT 8.0 MONSTER TRUCK

That exhaust is for thunder tiger .50 for MTA monster truck engine bud I have couple of them

Also mate I have a spare Hobao 2.4ghz transmitter and receiver if you need one.😊

Nice Find!

Subscribed man good stuff you usually put out a good video One of my favorite parts of the hobby saving old rigs especially nitro hope to get my hands on one of these soon cool little rigs love the simplicity just add some fuel and run it around the yard

Associated MGT exhaust

there nothing wrong with a drill to start it as long as the clutch and speed and rotation are set write and there not set on the max levels. with some rechargeable aa battery and heat shrink you can make some hump pack out of the stock battery cases. i no some people use the rubber muffler tube to shut it off so there not putting there fingers on hot metal muffler. if i had to guess it actually not that old i no all the 2nd gen releases of the hpi cars all came with the 2.4 radio set ups and the new style hpi servos. here in the usa the remote and receiver 2,4 hpi cost 27/37 dallors to replace them .

Mine is an older one.

Its a team associated mgt exhaust

surprising to see it start with a hand drill, usually they don't have enough rpm.

It’s not the drill mate it would be the same if using a pull start it’s because the car has been stood so sometimes they take some getting going once it’s ran for abit and carb adjusted it will be fine. 😊

The car turns over, but the rev is very high that the nitro just finished quickly just by throttling it. It goes into high rev on its own. The back wheel only spins when lifted up. The front wheel rotates in opersite directions hence why the car doesn't drive. Any ideas will help please and thanks
