RE: Hpi Firestorm
I have had the firestorm since christmas and it is an awesome truck........i have been into rc cars and trucks since 1982 so i have some experience with many different vehicles.....this is a great truck for the track......but as far as usin it like a savage it want hold up........nor was it designed for that........but what it is very fast and nimble......hard to flip over due to low center of gravity...........a dream to work on compared to savage............now for the downside........the front bulkhead broke right down the center from side impact.........it is made of very thin nylon/plastic............definitely could use aftermarket there...........other than that an awesome truck.........no parts available yet anywhere so have to wait........but that is the price u pay for 1st out.................but give it 9/10 stars..........will buy another in 2-3months for my son......
