Default RE: OFFICIAL HPI Sprint 2 Thread (Sport and Flux)

Sorry it took so long to get back to ya. Had a small family emergency, but all is ok.

I did find my CC USB. It's not that i lost the USB cord, i lost the cable that links from the standard plug from the ESC TO the USB. I have it sitting here with me now. My wife took my cell phone with her today as she dropped hers in the Toilet. HAHA, I didn't even ask her, how she done that, but never the less....

Once she gets home from class tonight, I will get some pics taken and I will put them up through Picassa and just use a link for ya all.

ALSO, I am sending the carbon fiber chassis back!!!!! There are no screw holes for the servo or turnbuckles. I guess you have to have both the fiber Upper and Lower for everything to attach to the car. It's just not worth it to me. I am going to keep the chassis plastic and will look at buying an Xray, Cyclone, or something along those lines that is already built WITH the CF chassis.

I got my wheels on today and talk about a difference in drifting!!! MAN, the stock rubber wheels were just TOO sticky!!!!! I was able to drift with the stock wheels but it was HELL to keep a good "line", even with a Gyro. Now that I got my drift wheels on there, it is night and day different!!!!! I can use my NiMh battery and drift until the pack is toast!!!! LOL I was fighting those stock wheels, which I knew they were a problem, but I wanted to try and stay "realistic". With the ABS wheels, it's hard NOT spinning out....lolol I have been having a ton of fun with this little car.

I am going to start teaching my daughter how to drift and eventually will give her the Flux, once I can find a good CF chassis car for myself.

Again, I am sorry that I didn't get any pics up, but I will try and see if I can do some screen captures today or tomorrow and will post them so you guys can see the different things that you can adjust with the CC USB Link.

PS: On a side note, I am looking at getting an ERevo with the Mamba Max already installed. It will be nice to stay with Mamba, so I can keep using the CC USB link for "all" my cars...
