thats the way i would do it

 

[Childresshunt]

When the g 3.0 on mine craps out I'm gonna put a 3.3 on mine

 

[traxxhpi]

yeah a big difference!

 

[Childresshunt]

How did you do it throttle servo turned around with jato linkage and a 4 tec manifold

btw what tires you running looks like they stick pretty good

 

[traxxhpi]

On my firestorm i turned the servo around since the carb on the 3.0 turns sideways to open and the 3.3 pulls forward to open. and i bought a jato 3.3 manifold, hooked it up with my stock firestorm pipe. everything else is pretty much stock. motor mounts are stock also. surprised they fit lol.. i just bought a 24t clutch bell! well see how she does ha

I'm running two dirt hawgs from pro line. they're pretty good!

 

[Childresshunt]

I read on a forum somewhere you could use jato linkage with the servo turned around but you can use the firestorm linkage

 

[traxxhpi]

yeah I'm sure thats possible.

 

[traxxhpi]

who else owns a firestorm???

 

[Childresshunt]

I guess just me lol you ever had problems with your steering

 

[traxxhpi]

lol..!! nope not once just yet ha. you have? although i did experience a run a way with it lol. I'm not sure what caused it because it was like 40 feet away.It might be my throttle receiver,power switch,or my receiver? idk.

 

[Childresshunt]

Are you using the stock battery pack that takes four AA's. I've had problems with my steering since i bought the truck but i bought it used and just havnt gotten new steering linkage yet.

 

[traxxhpi]

yeah i bought some rechargeable energizers. but I'm thinking on getting a hump pack batt, for longer juice and more power to the servos. hows it steering?

 

[Childresshunt]

Theres your problem with the runaway mine does the same thing i pulled a wheelie one day and mine ran away luckly it ran into high grass and did no damage. When i got to the car and shut it off i took my battery back out and hit it with a screw driver and boom everything started working again. get u a hump pack and you wont have that problem anymore as long as your remote batteries are good. No matter how i adjust the steering and the postion of the servo horn it turns one way more that the other. I'm about to put a savox servo on it and some new linkage tho and I'm sure that will fix my problem

 

[traxxhpi]

dang. lucky, mine crashed into a curb nothing happened to it just some scratches. yeah it was doing that 2 days ago! i was jumping and all of a sudden it turns off no power at all and batteries are charged and everything. so i smacked the battery pack and all power comes back? I'm buying me a hump pack for sure. was the linkage stock when you bought it used? i never really had any problems with the steering so i wouldn't know much.

 

[Childresshunt]

yea it was stock and I'm going to replace with stock and a new servo and see what happens
