Xander242 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Hi all, New to the RC modifying world so don't really know anything, I'm currently working my through the electric drift guide on here to hopefully learn a bit more and I've just purchased myself this to stop spending money on my actual car, I think it's a HPI Sprint 2 Drift (correct me if I'm wrong): I think its a HPI Sprint, this is the description from the ebay add, still trying to work a few bits out: Custom Subaru WRX body shell with classic blue paint and spoiler BBS style lumo pink low offset drift wheels and soft compound tyres Uprated springs Track spacers for better stance and handling Hpi speed controller Mini Acoms receiver Acoms servo Fast Orion 19turn motor 2800 battery pack Acoms controller Fully bull raced Loads of set up adjustment Smooth belt drive Some spares and all manuals New wheels, tyres, controller, battery and a couple of other bits are on order already. Had a play earlier and I think it's set up for racing but have no idea. Also does anyone know where the best place is to get upgraded parts? Any help/info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Xander Edited September 4, 2014 by Xander242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander242 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hi bud, yeah I think that him, he's got a tamiya Subaru up now? It's all in great condition, the shells a bit based but that's expected and everything works perfectly. Came very well protected in a suitable box as well so if he's got some more up if go for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander242 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'm just getting into this so thought I'd be best to get a 2nd hand one, hasn't been set up to drift so enjoying doing it myself, just having a hard time trying to find upgraded pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenyboy Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 That guy always has plenty of cars for sale, I think he plays dumb on some of the cars pretending he doesn't know what they are. The listings always have tamiya, yokomo hpi on the listing to catch attention. For somebody who has that many cars for sale week after week I'm pretty sure he knows what he's selling. He always makes top dollar on the cars so kudos to him catching out noobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
