Default Sprint 2

I'm about to trade my blade cp heli for a sprint 2. Are these good drifters stock? Any immediate upgrades suggested? Will it drift without PVC tires? Thanks

The Sprint 2 drifts great stock.

>Buy some stiff rear springs (link below)

I also bought the Chameleon 2 Pro motor for drifting, but I also advanced the stock motor that came with it and it works fine. I set the front almost toe-out to help the car turn-in, but im always changing it. Its whatever you prefer as far as setup, but the car would barely drift at high speeds until I locked the rear diff.

I have the rear set at 2 degreees toe in. It comes factory with 3, which I would think would be better for drifting, but 2 degrees worked better for me.
