HPI E-Firestorm 10T RTR w/DSX 2 Truck Body

E-Firestorm 10T RTR w/DSX 2 Truck Body from HPI Racing

Storm Watch: ELECTRIC FIRESTORM!

New from HPI Racing is the ready-to-run E-Firestorm 2WD 1/10th-scale electric-powered stadium truck. In the fiercely competitive electric 2WD truck class, the E-Firestorm separates itself from the competition with extra toughness and a long list of race-inspired features... all at a price that beats the competition.

HPI's First-Ever 2WD Electric Truck

Erik Shauver, designer of high-performance HPI vehicles like the nitro Firestorm, Hellfire and the Pro 4, was the go-to choice when it came time to add an electric 2WD truck to the HPI line-up. Using his Firestorm design as a starting point, Erik set out to design a truck that blended the toughness needed for an entry level truck with the adjustability of a competitive race truck.

The Firestorms design heritage is easy to spot in the E-Firestorm. The stealthy black color theme is purposefully applied to the sleek curves of the composite nylon main chassis with strategically center-mounted batteries, servo and transmission. The proven tough suspension from the Firestorm is carried over for maximum durability. And, subtle features like threaded shock bodies and hex-head screws point out that the E-Firestorm is not your average RTR truck - it's a whole new level of design for the RTR class.

Built Tough

TOUGH is the word that best describes the E-Firestorm. Everywhere you look, the critical parts have been designed to withstand the rigors of off-road racing. The key to durability for any 2WD stadium truck is the transmission, and the E- Firestorm tranny is extra tough, using all metal gears to easily handle the power of hot electric motors. Inside the tranny is a sealed planetary differential with, again, all metal gears for extra toughness. And everything is protected by an adjustable dual-pad slipper clutch mated to durable 48 pitch gears, with tough steel dogbones and axles to transmit the power to the tires.

Performance-Driven Design

The E-Firestorm uses race-inspired design to give owners full control over suspension adjustments for excellent handling on surfaces like open fields, parks, and even to your local racing track. The lay-down steering servo and low-profile transmission help provide a very low center of gravity (CG) for quick response. 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 trucks. Silicone oil-filled shocks absorb all bumps and jumps and keep the tires on the ground. The shocks even feature threaded shock bodies for easy spring adjustments, while 3 upper and 2 lower shock mounts give a multitude of tuning possibilities. 14 balI bearings provide maximum drive-train efficiency for faster top speed and durability. Wide-track suspension gives the E- Firestorm superb control. Providing extra grip and control are square-pin Ground Assault rear tires, and asymmetric dual-edge Front Line tires keep the E-Firestorm pointed in the right direction.

Electric Power

The E-Firestorm takes full advantage of all the benefits of electric power - it's quiet, clean, powerful, and truly plug-and- play... no starter or fuel needed! Blazing power comes from a 15-turn Firebolt motor, controlled by an electronic speed control for complete control over throttle, brakes, and reverse. Add your choice of batteries like LiPo, 6-cell NiMh, and even 7-cell NiMh - they all fit easily in the E-Firestorm battery slot that gives secure and tool-free access to the batteries.

The Complete Package

From the tough all-metal transmission gears to full adjustability of the suspension geometry, the E-Firestorm sets a new standard for ready-to-run stadium trucks. Full ball bearings, 15- turn motor, reversible ESC, silicone oil-filled threaded shocks - it's all there on the E-Firestorm, precision-built from the factory. Top it off with a custom screened DSX-2 body and your E-Firestorm is ready to hit the dirt!

Requires a 6- or 7-cell sub C battery pack, charger and AA batteries.
