looking to start up
 

hey everyne i am looking to buy a hpi sprint 2 when i get the money i was wondering if they were any good and i was wondering how you paint the shell also i am not building from the ground up on my first one because i know i would muck up!!! i need the money then the car is mine and i will buy a second shell!!!! cant wait but it may be a few months

RE: looking to start up
 

Sprint 2 is Great for Aussie Conditions ! (as long as you keep the surface free of debris as the rear belt on a sprint 2 chews easily)

In Short, The Sprint 2 is a great chassis to drift with...


As for shells there painted on the INSIDE after you wash it , dry it, apply window masks, Trim it then do Body pole holes then Paint it!

thanks for the reply do all cars have body poles or only some??? and waht are they used for, how many layers of paint are needed for the inside???

RE: looking to start up
 

"body poles" or "body posts" are used to attach the body to the car. I would venture to say that 99% of on-roads have body posts.

You can use as many layers of paint as you want.

ok cool i was just wondering how long the body shell should be because on the website i think the chassis is a certain length and the body shell is only 200mm

ha ha ha i just found that it is not measured by length but rather by width do i need a 190mm shell so it is all good unfortuanately they do not have the same shell types in both i was hoping for a ford mustang in 190mm but they do not have one on their site so im guessing it does not exist therefore i am going to try and get a toyota levin ae86 because it has a striking similarity to the nissan 240sx
