God people, it IS how you drive, you are not supposed to jam on and off witht he brushless because that will wear that area out an other VERY quickly also your belts will not last as long, the sprint2sport is actually NOT a racing car at all, or they would of called it the sprint2race..
The only reason there is a drift version is because its set up nicely and drifting, while it does stress out other parts of the cars chassis and such, does not stress other areas that are weaker. You just need to learn how to drive the car before you go complaining to HPI about how bad their car is.
In fact, Tower Hobbies sell it as a RACING car!
Both Sprint 2 FLUX and Customer Service sucks big time.
Getting a Sprint 2 FLUX has been a disappointing experience.

After all of my diff, axle, & transmissions were worn out, shortly after I got it, I ordered new Ball diffs, Axles and Hubs from Tower Hobbies. I don't know what they call it, but dog bone and hub was connected together as one unit.
The problem now, with new parts installed, is that car makes loud noise when wheels are rotating and I turn hard left or right at the same time. If I reduce the travel of steering servo the noise don't appear. The same if I loose up the ball diff. The problem now is that it is impossible to perform drifting with the car.

Why is it like that, and what can be done to solve it?

If this car don't handle the powerful brush less system, it's wrong to blame the customer, but it seems to be HPI's answer.
