Well I got my Sprint 2 yesterday and the first thing I did was solider a Dean connector on the ESC. After that I wrapped the tires in electrical tape and took to the streets. All I can say is WOW!!! The tape gave me long smooth drifts with a great balance of grip and slide. All I need now is my bigger lipos to show up so I can drift longer hahaha. For now I'm going to stick with the taped tires but I would like to try the Hpi drift tires. I hear they have a few different componds to choose from. Well see............. On my old Sprint I used the Tamiya drift tires and hated the hell out of them. Way too hard and would just slide all over the place. I felt like I had no controll.
