CARRO E-FIRESTORM FLUX RTR HPI 10553

3-Gear Laydown Metal Gear Transmission
Getting the power to the rear wheels is a durable low-profile gear transmission that features all-metal gears for extra toughness! The gearbox uses a 2.6 to 1 gear ratio to enhance traction and efficiency in all conditions. Directly driving the driveshafts is a sealed planetary gear differential, giving you exemplary corner grip as well as longevity and minimal maintenance. The low profile transmission enhances the E-Firestorm's center of gravity, keeping the handling tight and tidy! Tight like a tiger!

Strong Hex-Head Hardware
Securing everything in place on the E-Firestorm is a selection of high quality steel hex screws and bolts. These are especially tough and rugged, perfect for a fun racing machine like the E-Firestorm Flux! The screws on the underside of the chassis are flat head screws to prevent any excess scraping when the truck slides over jumps or bottoms out, and tough cap head bolts secure in really important parts like the shock towers, shocks and other parts.

Adjustable Body Posts
Finishing off the chassis details are a set of front and rear adjustable body posts. These may not be as light as non-adjustable pure racing designs, but it does mean you can use option bodyshells from HPI and other companies to fully customize your truck!

The reliable and sturdy HPI TF-1 radio controls the E-Firestorm Flux, giving you ultimate control in a realistically designed radio! The steering wheel design makes you feel as if you're actually driving the truck, and the trigger-style throttle and brake controls provide you with finger-sensitive action when accelerating and stopping! The radio transmitter features interchangeable frequency crystals, servo reverse switches, a retractable aerial with sliding cover, easy access to radio adjustments and simple battery replacement.

Taking the signals from the transmitter, the HPI RF-1 receiver uses standard RC connectors to send your control signals to the SF-1 steering servo, which controls the steering, and the Flux Motiv speed controller, which handles the throttle, brake and reverse commands to the Warp 5700 motor. You get long-range, reliable connections between your transmitter and car with the RF-1 and dependable control from the SF-1 and Flux Motiv!

Because all of the electronics are standard-size RC components with standardized connectors, any or all of the components can be upgraded at any time, or moved into a different RC vehicle in the future. The E-Firestorm Flux will accept any standard 540-size brushed or brushless motor, and also any RC battery pack, of stick or side-by-side design. Lithium-polymer hard case batteries will also fit right in!
