Hey dude, greetings from the UK. I have three nitro Firestorms running and another five to be restored. That's with another three Fluxes and five normal electric. As you can guess, I really like them, it's good to see someone else keeping them alive. I'm subbed so I can see what you do with this. 🇺🇸🤝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

That is awesome. You have a nice collection. Not much for parts in the Philippines for these. I'm doing an engine swap soon on it. Bought a brand new .18 VX engine for it. I know some people don't like VX....but it's the only one that has all the parts available in my area. They put them in HSP and Redcat Racing . The original HPI motor is tired. It takes a long time to get it running....even with a hairdryer to heat it up and drill start. I have 20% nitro....but time for a new motor. I have a brand new VRX buggy.....that one starts easy and runs amazing. Thanks for watching

@@barrysrcdump3557 the new VX started on the 1st pull this day I loaded the video. It has 3 tanks run through it on the bench first. But I was impressed how it drove. Will run it harder next time. I'm sure it's not going to be fast like a HPI engine....but my old engine was tired out
