HPI Firestorm 10T Radio Controlled Car Review
 |
The HPI Firestorm 10T is one of the best RC cars from HPI so far. It's a 2WD nitro stadium truck and it has some pretty impressive features, that makes it worth your time and attention. So let's take a look at these qualities and at what is new and different from other cars. Its aspect is nice, with the flames that hinted at by its name. Now getting to its mechanical side, a good thing is that its ready to run engine, that was a bit difficult to handle in other models, is now very easy to work with and fast.
Also, the HPI Firestorm 10T is very durable, thanks to its steel and aluminum structure. Its air filters help burning the fuel better, thus leading to superior speeds. It is also provided with front and rear tires, that help it perform great when cutting corners. The rears also help the Firestorm 10T perform great on any type of terrain, on road or off road, even though it works a bit better on pavement. When you buy the pack, you'll find a very thorough owner's manual, a very well assembled car and all the required pieces. Some additional things that you need to buy are 12 AA batteries, nitro, fuel bottle, glow igniter, air filter oil, after run oil and a flathead screwdriver. So it has quite a few cool things that its designers came up with, however, there are other things too that could use a little improvement, such as the plastic bushings, that may need to be replaced with rubber or steel ones and the brakes, that come a little loose and need some adjusting.
And for a beginner, it may take a little time to gain control of his Firestorm, but in general, the handling is very good. But the overall impression about the HPI Firestorm 10T is very positive: its 0.18 cubic inch powerful engine, rugged aspect and low center of gravity make it a fun car for those who want to see some action.
