HPI E-10 vs. HPI RTR Sprint 2 Sport - 4/5/2008 4:12:19 AM

Hello, everyone!

I am planning to buy a "HPI E-10 Murcielago" or "HPI RTR Sprint 2 Sport Toureza."

Which one is better? Which one is more reliable? What are difference between these two cars? Is there a significant difference of performence and long-term reliability?

Your answers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I was readin thru one of the other trends on here ( mighta been in the ON-ROAD forums ) but the E-10 is just a budget type of car. If you upgrade the motor and ESC, you'll start running into problems.

Now the sprint, IF you want a good RC car, thats what you'll want to get over the E-10, The E-10 WILL be cheaper ( around $100 cheaper ) but the sprint is just the better car to get. Better upgrades, better quality, better car

Thank you very much for your answer. Your answe helps me a lot. Now I am clinging to a Sprint.

Is a Sprint 2 faster than an E-10? Is this car very reliable without mechanical problems?

Sprint 2 is faster then the E10

Sprint 2 is Belt Driven and the only real concern is the rear Belt but just grab a few spare ones and you will be right..

Sprint 2 has better gearing options and will allow you to enter in a few classes of racing aswell as being able to drift really well

the sprint2 is a great car and just mod the rear diff and you wont have problems chewing belts. i have both and like the sprint2 better. it handles better and has a smoother feel to it. here are some pics

How do you mod the rear diff? I just had a small rock stuck between the belt and diffs and it damaged the belt.

Overall I like this car alot.

ok your going to have to take your car apart to do the rear diff mod but you have to take it apart to change the belt anyways. basiclly take a dremel and cut along the lines showed in the picture. that allows most stuff to pass thru without getting stuck. its a simple mod that helped me out alot. ive had the car for a year and onli had to change one rear belt and that was before i did the mod. im still on my original front belt

jus get the cvd's, carbon towers, spare belts, dremmel rear diff case and lock it w/ ca or shu goo, and replace the front diff w the optional ball front spool. All these options are all u need to terrorize the track and very affordable prices!! good luck and enjoy ur brand new drifting maniac machine

well, they say that to run a sprint it has to be on a very flat and clean surface. if not , dirt will eat up your belts. and on the other hand the E10 is more of like your everyday car. but if i was you, i would go for the sprint 2 drift sport hands down!
