Default HPI Spint conversion to drifter???? HELP



I have a HPI Sprint 1 (not sprint 2) I installed a Traxxas Velineon Brushless setup and put drif tires, it will drift but with not much control I was wondering what differential should I lock?

I read somewhere to lock the rear differential, and then I read in other places to lock the front differential only. So wich one should I lock? or should I lock both?

Get a front one-way differential thats only 38 usd and either lock your rear differential or buy a ball differential thats only 20 usd and your good to go hey will you post a pic of your chassis? Ive never seen the Sprint I have a Sprint 2 and I love this car its great! Its nearly stock all ive done to it is I cut out the plates on the bulkheads on the front and rear and put in a front one-way diff and this thing drifts really well. Oh yeah another thing get some soft springs their better for drifting
