From looking at the manuals on the HPI site, all of the Sprint cars share the chassis.

Sorry guys, I have no idea where I got that arm, I found it in my "extra parts" tool box and it just happened to fit.
It could possibly belong to one of my other cars.

sounds good.. now i just need to pick a motor esc combo.. id like to get a castle .. but its just to expensive for me unless there is somthing in the 110 doller range for a esc / motor.. guessing 4500 kv should be a good for me..
its just a basher.. i drift .. and race ..
i was thinkning of somthing like this.. http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-lbwr3650-8-5t-4450kv.html
or is there a castle combo in that price range?

I'm not familiar with the leopard motors. There are alot of people running the Hobbywing ESCs and motors. Most of those you can pick up for under 100. And from what I've read and heard they seem to be pretty good for the price.

Uncle Vinnie...
Can you please fill me in on the mount you are using for your battery?
I'm fairly new to RC... just got a sprint2 and have ordered the carbon chassis pieces.
Looks like I'll need some kind of set up like yours in order to use the carbon upper piece.
Am I right on that? looks like it doesn't have the holes for the stock plastic battery holders...
thanks in advance for the help...
and sweet sprint!

RE: OFFICIAL HPI Sprint 2 Thread (Sport and Flux)
Have you guys seen the new traxxas x? 100mph out the box. What going on with HPI? What haven't they stepped up their game? I'm a big fan of hpi. I have a an RS4-3, savage x and a Sprint 2 flux and none will get near what that Traxxas can do.
I think HPI has let go of their only onroad nitro car and that was the R40. HPI needs better onroad nittro and offroad cars and trucks.
What is your opinion on this?

I have heard of the XO-1. It's kind of impressive. But there is one drawback. It's MSRP is $1099 [img][/img]

HPI has Traxxas beat at almost every scale IMO. Also the R40 isn't HPI's only nitro onroad car.

LMAO...... I would rather own an HPI than a Traxxas any day. Why do you think ''HPI needs better onroad nittro and offroad cars and trucks''?

I dont think so. I like both HPI and Traxxas, but i think Traxxas has the edge. They have more vehicles to choose from.

Well it works. HPI doesnt offer enough of a selection. No nitro short course truck, no 1/16 scale. HPI is either a RS4, a Savage or a Baja basically. I own both companies and like them both of their stuff differently.

and on the "no 16th scale" well HPI does have their new 18th scale Mini Recon, that I hear is nice for the price! 100 bucks
and with a $50 motor and esc hopup they run even better
I don't think many Nitro SC trucks have sold... more elctric fans I think
and HPI did come out with their new 8th scale brushless SC and C1 that kinda sweet
