W: Your Storm CL-1 Pro RTR is built and setup to our Factory Team Specs. The stock setup will
work well on most tracks. The only major setup change you might make is tires. The stock
tires will work on a variety of surfaces and tracks, but ask the locals for the best tire for your
specific track. We suggest
Panther
tires, as they are available in a wide variety of
patterns and compounds. Otherwise, refer to the setup sheet in the back of the manual
should you need to replace the shock or diff oils, or replace broken parts, for the correct
settings. Your Storm CL-1 does offer a wide variety of adjustments, so experiment to fine
tune to your track needs, or contact us for setup tips. We have won many races with our
Storm series buggies over the years, and your Storm CL-1 is a capable race buggy.
X: A full line of GS option parts is available; contact us for details and/or check the back of
this manual for parts listing. Fioroni also offers a full line of Storm option parts, as do several
other companies.
Y: Maintenance is important on any RC model. Even though your CL-1 is an RTR, it still
requires basic cleaning and maintenance. Always check for loose screws before each run.
After each race weekend, disassemble the buggy (use this manual for reference) and check
for bent or broken parts. Worn out or bent parts will cause other parts to bend or break.
Shock and differential oils need to be replaced regularly. Clutch shoes and springs have a
limited life span, so replace when performance drops. The servos in your kit also have a
limited life span. Even the most expensive servos do not last forever. Your engine, if prop-
erly tuned and cared for, can last through several gallons of fuel. Always draw out all the fuel
out of the tank, apply after-run oil to the engine, and remove batteries before storing the kit
away.
Z: Warranty: Your Storm CL-1 warranty covers workmanship and manufacturing defects of
the original and unmodified parts. Warranty claims resulting from crashes, abuse, improper
operation, improper mounting, improper adjustment or lack of maintenance will not be hon-
ored. Ready to run does not mean maintenance free, nor does it imply that the buggy or any
parts of it are impervious to wear and tear or even unexpected breakage.
The GS-B03 engine and supplied Power Start unit are only warranted against factory
defects in material and/or workmanship. Under no circumstances will the engines be con-
sidered under warranty if they have been disassembled, operated on anything other than r/c
car model glow fuel, run with lean needle settings, without a proper functioning air filter, or
used for any purpose other than that which the engine was designed and manufactured for.
In other words, if you redline the engine, or run it with a dirty air filter, or tighten the needles
too far, it’s not covered.
