Introducing the
HPI Firestorm 2WD RTR Stadium Truck! This amazing 2WD stadium truck features all-new design specifications, cool racing attributes and a fresh direction for HPI's high quality entry level Nitro truck line-up! HPI thought of everything when it came to remaking the 2WD stadium truck. You get a huge power increase from a new, stronger pullstart G3.0 Engine and an all-new Chassis design to bring racing like performance to a rock solid entry level truck.
Performance Driven Design
Race-inspired features give great handling on all surfaces from open fields, parks, even to your local racing track. The dual-deck design features a 3mm Aluminum Main Chassis and an Aluminum upper deck. A low-profile 75cc fuel tank and lay down steering Servo help provide a very low Center of Gravity (CG). A full set of turnbuckles allows you to adjust Camber and front toe. The rear toe and Anti-squat angles are adjustable using pivot blocks, just like on the high-spec racing buggies. Real oil-filled shocks absorb all bumps and jumps and keep the tires on the ground. Real silicone Shock Oil is used to provide consistent performance in all temperatures. The shocks even feature threaded shock bodies for easy spring adjustments, and the many shock mounts (3 upper, 2 lower) give a multitude of tuning possibilities. 16 ball bearings provide maximum drive train efficiency for faster top speed and durability. Wide-track suspension and all-new tires front and rear give the Firestorm superb control. Providing extra grip and control are the new square-pin Ground Assault rear tires get the power to the ground and asymmetric dual-edge Front Line tires to keep the Firestorm pointed in the right direction.
The Firestorm is as durable as it is nimble, giving you maximum enjoyment under any conditions! The Aluminum Main Chassis and upper deck combine with the steel Chassis brace to make the Firestorm extremely stiff. A dual-pad slipper clutch protects the drivetrain from rough landings, while the 0.8 module Clutch Bell and spur Gear are designed for maximum efficiency and reliability. The transmission features a 4.11 to 1 ratio and a sealed planetary Gear differential, allowing you to tune the performance of the truck with different diff oils. Stopping the Firestorm is a fiber disk Brake actuated by easy to adjust linkage. The steel center Chassis brace provides extra stiffness and keeps the Gear mesh between the spur and Clutch Bell consistent. Steel alloy front axles and rear dogbones take the extreme punishment of bashing and racing in the worst possible environments. Protecting the electronics are sealed compartments for the Battery Pack and receiver, protecting them from the elements and strategically placed for optimum weight balance.
The little details weren't missed out either. You can see the designer's perfection in every Firestorm feature such as: a two-stage foam air filter with a 90-degree rubber elbow, fuel tube clips to keep the tubing out of the way of rotating parts, an innovative battery wire routing system, adjustable Body posts to fit a variety of optional bodyshells, Piston Brake caliper actuation, high-flow manifold and silicone tuned pipe coupling and rubber mounts for the fuel tank. All this shows how much HPI listened to devoted owners and fans of stadium Nitro RC trucks!
