I personally love the kit! Great choice and nice ride!

Hey, that's an awesome kit. :thumbup:
One word of advice, take your time and study the instructions carefully. Then you won't pull a bonehead like I did. I had to backtrack almost to step 1 when I figured out that the center diff outdrives were different from the others. DOH! :nono:

Good luck and have fun.

Thanks! since I have the arr I dont think the diffs will be an issue. I am almost done with it , mill is in (os21rgx) servos are in,receiver goes in with the hump pack next, then the fun begins! aligning all the throttle/steering linkage,fuel lines and muffler. have to run out and get a new crystal and some small stuff to finish! will be posting some better pics in my gallery as I progress, gonna make a pot of coffee and hope to be breaking in tomorrow morning! hmmmm,, may have to get that new air brush kit I was stalkin yesterday!:ha

 

[Nitroaddict]

congrats on the 'almost' complete Storm. Let us know when it is finished

 

[nitromaniac]

ahh yes!! Another day at the build table(dining room table with sheet over it), well so far this has been a great learning experience for me, I decided to switch out the standard throttle/brake servo for a little more torque, from a hs311 to a hs-545bb, Major difference, I just didnt think the 311 had the balls needed to do three functions(throttle/2 brakes), If you are building a storm, I would definetly recomend this! for now I am sticking with the servo horns provided in the box only because I forgot them at my lhs today, I am planning on trimming them with the dremel, so far , so good! I have the brake linkage left and some tightening up to do before engine break in sometime in the afternoon, This is a great build, I highly recomend it! todays pics are in my gallery, check em out! I am open to all tips and sugestions so let em fly!

Nitroadict: you were right, I really can do this! Thanks for all the help!
