RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
it came with a fail safe on it. It happened a few times 100ft away and even running circles around myself. I will work on centering the throttle trim. Should i look into upgrading the steering servo? Should i also upgrade to a battery pack as well?

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
well i figured it out. I backed the idle screw too far out and the throttle im assuming, was sliding to far out. Which was leading to it running wide open when i started it. I still have a few questions. I finished the break in process but have yet to tune it. my throttle trim is all the way to the left and i had to back the idle down to keep it from rolling with out me on the throttle. is this normal? after my fourth tank of fuel the throttle seemed to stick once in awhile and the steering would lock up on me. is this batteries dying out or a servo problem. i apologize for all the questions but this is all new to me. thanks for all the help so far.

RE: -=OFFICIAL HPI FIRESTORM THREAD=-
well i like the storm so far......im still breaking the motor in since im so busy. I ran one tank thru then my second just at half throttle. it cut out and it won't start. I can get it to fire up but it runs like the idle is high then dies. i've adjusted the idle screw but im stumped now.

Well i got the storm up and running. I went to my lhs and it turned out to be bad fuel. Shame on me for trusting what tower sent.

Yes it has a new battery in it. I've checked both glow plugs and they ignite.

Hey guys, I'm new to rc cars. I just picked up a firestorm and cant get it started at all. I've primed the motor and had the glow plug starter on. I've followed the manual and the HPI dvd. What am i doing wrong?
