I have a Nitro storm 21-xs.
I have had it about 15 years.
it has the original box and instructions.

I get it out from time to time to play with it.
The engine puts lots of oil on chassie and running gear.

More recently I have decided to clean it up and put it aside. Just the engine to clean.

R there many of these out there?

Cheers

I had bits and pieces of a Storm bitd but it was so thrashed that it got parted out...never did get another one. Got a couple NIP bodies though so if I ever do get one its gonna look nice for a few minutes

Meanee,

I have had one of these in my possession since August 2006.... at least, that's when I put it in my TamiyaClub showroom! You can see it here: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=50458&sid=154.

Not a lot has happened to it since I got it, though, unfortunately..... my Schumacher nitro range are all a bit like that

I have some other parts for another one as well, including another black heavyweight chassis pan..... not sure when I'll get to that one!

Good to see more of these out there....

I have the touring car version (shameless plug - it's new built, and it's for sale)... same cougar-based platform, different wheels/tires and body but in essence the same car I bought it to cannibalize it in order to rebuild my own teenage years' STORM (electric one) which I still have but in the end I also bought a couple of STORMS too

Schumacher once had all segments covered with quality stuff!!

Paul,

Must you continue to tease me with this??? I should have bought that long ago, but fate stepped in the way..... many times....

Actually, yours is a Nitro 10 rather than the 21XS.... the 10 had a .12 or .15 motor, whereas the 21XS has a (surprise surprise) .21 engine, as well as a steel rather than alloy chassis. Also, the 21 has the second generation gearbox..... I think yours had the first generation, Cougar-derived, transmission.

Still, I have to agree, at the time Schumacher was quality in a whole bunch of areas.

I didnt sell the Nitro storm......so i have decided to show yall some pics
I still have the box a little beaten but all there. i got some slicks to run it on when I used it.
