Default cyclone s for drifting

I have heard alot about how good this car is for drifting. I am deciding on that or the sprint 2 but I 'm thinking more the cyclone s. What do you think?

The Cyclone S is a Better design to maintain and run then a sprint 2...

I however go against the grain and I prefer my Sprint 2 for Drifting and my Cyclone S for Racing..

The Major down side to a Sprint 2 is the Whole rear end of the car has to be disassembled to change a rear belt.. On a Cyclone S, its 8 Screws and your Done..

A Positive to the Sprint 2 is it is easier to change gearing and motor swapping.. The Spur gear on a sprint 2 is mounted to the side of the chassis, remove the pinion off the motor and 5 screws and your done..

On a Cyclone S, you have to mess around trying to remove the pinion off the motor before you can think about changing the Motor and to change the Spur requires alot more difficulty..

Well out of those 2 I'd suggest the Cyclone. At the end of the day its all HPI really but atleast the Cyclone comes from HPI Japan and they usualy have a few good ideas on their chassis.
