This Nitro RC Car Came From a House Clearance But Will It Run? 

A tip that helps alot is warm up the motor with a blow dryer or heat gun for a few minutes and after should crank up no problem 😊

Haggard don’t sell this one! Not like the last firestorm you had❤

What a score!

Nice! Thanks for sharing 😊

The chrome wheels that came with it are from the Hpi trophy 3.5 buggy by the look of it bro and you're right about the radio gear. The first firestorms came with crystals and usually had the crustal number on the receiver box. Mine is number 3 lol. It also had a different shell design/paint scheme. You should keep this one bro 👍

That's trophy buggy wheel hub carrier, very similar to the ones on the mp9

Awesome job on the box bro you’re mum must have saved all your Christmas rappers lol 😂 Good score if it was the good price bro well done 👍

I also received a hpi firestorm 10t today, 2nd hand. It runs & drives, just needs a few adjustments here & there. Keep up the good videos, you're so down to earth....brilliant!

I got an old Kyosho from a guy that couldn't get it to run. I literally put batteries, fuel and a new plug in and it fired up 3rd pull. Mine had a high idle also, I guessed the seller messed it up trying to get it to run.

Great video, and sounds like you are a great father.i commend you on patients.

wauw nice one mate looks like new great firestorm

Just found you dude. Nice to see some one that buys second hand rc cars and works with what they have round them to get them running. I’ll probably arch all your vids over the next few weeks

Like Christmas all over again!

Nice one glad you made a turn from it.

Very nice bud good deal there hope lot fun with it wait for ssk Thunr Tiger

i enjoyed that nice firestorm if it was me i would keep it for the condition its in

The muffler is from a team associated MGT 8.0 MONSTER TRUCK

Looks like a thunder tiger or team associated MGT exhaust looks like the one on my MGT and yes it’s rear facing 👍

Great content as always Ben keep up the good work 😊

I had 1 of those the screws became projectiles and it fell apart on my first day of use from brand new 😂 worst purchase of my life.

Nice vid. Love it. I just scored a vintage nice 1/8 scale nitro also. Nice. 2024 is off to a great start. Love it. Take care mate🎉😊

Excellent can't wait to see what it can do 👍

Associated mgt 8.0 exhaust if your American if in the Uk the exhaust is for a thunder tiger sledge hammer s50 The k4.6/5.9 are very highly valued now and sell for a good price used

That exhaust is for thunder tiger .50 for MTA monster truck engine bud I have couple of them

Way back when, I had the Kyosho equivalent of that vehicle. Think they referred to it as a "Stadium Truck", the predecessor of today's Short Course craze.40:15 or so. trying to tune a cold engine, while not even burping the throttle, the engine could either load up or starve and stall before any adjustments really take effect. You need to have throttle control to clear out rich conditions, or richen up lean conditions. It's painful watching you mess with adjustments and not 'take a lap' between to see what effect it has, especially when the thing could have had a perfect tune on it and just needed to be run around your yard for a tank. Now you've gone and smudged that all up. Someone sure did love that car. Probably getting hot sitting idling on your bench too. 49:15, is it getting dirty from your bench!? lol clean you bench man! he he I wanna see vids of these resurrected cars running.

So talented just hope you have the same joy with mine hahah

Nice

Nice Find!

Love these videos man i have a nitro car muself i love messing around with it its a lot of fun especially when you get it running niceone keep these videos coming haggard

there nothing wrong with a drill to start it as long as the clutch and speed and rotation are set write and there not set on the max levels. with some rechargeable aa battery and heat shrink you can make some hump pack out of the stock battery cases. i no some people use the rubber muffler tube to shut it off so there not putting there fingers on hot metal muffler. if i had to guess it actually not that old i no all the 2nd gen releases of the hpi cars all came with the 2.4 radio set ups and the new style hpi servos. here in the usa the remote and receiver 2,4 hpi cost 27/37 dallors to replace them .

Great video and car is running pretty decent. Somehow its a bit strange that the car idles so high. Keep up the great work man. p.s. I think that I saw the new servos for the sworkz😅

Associated MGT exhaust

Also mate I have a spare Hobao 2.4ghz transmitter and receiver if you need one.😊

Subscribed man good stuff you usually put out a good video One of my favorite parts of the hobby saving old rigs especially nitro hope to get my hands on one of these soon cool little rigs love the simplicity just add some fuel and run it around the yard

Mine is an older one.

Its a team associated mgt exhaust

surprising to see it start with a hand drill, usually they don't have enough rpm.

As a nitro noob - why does it take so long to start using the drill?

A lot like my old rc10…

If you're selling the trophy truggy spares let me know please

How much?

Can I have a donation nitro

@haggardrc i need some help with my eb4 s2 thundertiger
