Tightening up the front end...
I read in post about cutting zip zoc bags for ball joints, but still a bit hazy on how to make them and install them, can someone elaborate a little better and post some pics of them...

I don't have any pics but the concept is pretty easy. Use a hole punch like for paper and punch out some dots from a ziplock type sandwich bag. Place the dot over the ball and snap the cup over the two. Trim off any excess sticking out and you have a tighter joint.
I have not done this as I prefer a better fitting ballcup to start with. For HPI Sprint 2 I use Associated ballcups and for Associated TC4 I use RPM ballcups. they fit tight enough to get the desired result without the hassle.

What size RPM ball cups would i need? I see a 4-40 and a 3.5mm.

the size you need is posted in the Sprint 2 Mods thread you've already been given the link to.

I use 3M scotch tape between the balls and cups, but I only use them on One End of the turnbuckles, so they won't make my suspension bind and cause the Car to traction roll......

I usually put the scotch tape on the End that has the most play.....

I wished they could design ballcups with setscrews in them that can help the issue without scarring the ballstuds....

Ok, tightened up the front end with zip loc punch-outs, I also did the "G2 pen Spring" trick, But I think I've done it wrong still, Heres a picture of my problem, the wishbone still wants to pop out when i turn, I've stuck the springs in both ends of the wishbone.

Put the spring into the the diff outdrive, not the axle.
