HPI Sprint 2 Drift Questions

excellent wareagle, I would love to see a picture. I intend on doing fog lights, and under chassis in addition to the normal headlights and taillights. Very interested in this.

what Im running in my FR-S and Impreza bodies

of course I bought some other color/style LED bulbs and resistors off eBay to better mimic real 1:1 scale counterparts.

I'll post pictures when I can get to my PC and upload them.

Yeah well i plan on using headlights and taillights on the supra body as well. I too would like to put lights in all the legit places that the real supra has, and I am also looking to add an under chassis LED kit.. So it sounds like the GT Power is the way I should go. Is that exactly what its called? or do you have a link? Thanks

yeah, the Integy GT Power kit I linked is what's in that Supra. I switched out some of the lights though. The rear are flat round LED's to look more realistic.
thanks! that Supra is the first body I finished that I got creative with. Still love this body too much to scratch up drifting. lol

im gonna be the same way about my supra body once its done... But yeah I'm gna have to find the same LEDs you did, I'm not good with this stuff. So i still may have more questions when the time comes. But I'm pumped after seeing yours, its so fresh....I don't have the body yet, but I already have wheels for it. Black Volk Te37s 6mm offset all around. I can't wait man

cool.
I have 6mm front and 9mm offset rear and the rear aren't quite flush. Im running the LP series wheel/tire too so the rears are 35mm wide.
if you're looking to go as flush as possible, check out Spice and MST wheels, they offer 7, 8 and 10 offset wheels.

Thank you for the wise words panda, I appreciate the info. I was actually looking at the MST line of drift chassis, I absolutely love them. Unfortunately a little too expensive for me right now especially being that I just picked up the Sprint2. Do the MST chassis come pretty much ready to run just without a shell? or do you need to build those from the ground up? Thanks Panda.

Excellent, Thank you, I definitely will do that. Ive never heard of spice...but I'm definitely gonna check it out. thanks man!
#27
Most of the mst chassis are kits, only chassis, nothing wlse. I think they do have an rtr drift car to though. It is one of their kits, just with cheaper materials (less carbon and aluminum, more plastic) though i dont know if i would reccomend this, as you will probably end up getting the upgrades anyways.

yeah, you'll have to get a bit creative when masking/painting the body. also, you'd be best off picking up some universal light buckets (google them) and Shoe Goo'ing or double sided taping them in the fog light location.
you can pick up whatever color/size LED you need from eBay, just make sure to pick up the right rating resistor to wire inline with your new LED.
you don't have to solder them, you can just cut/strip and shrink tube them. the only things you really need to solder are if you're changing battery or esc/motor wiring; LED lighting will be just fine doing the 'ol twist/tube method.

As for the correct rating resistor, I'm not quite sure how its measured, but is there something I should be looking for across the board for all rc cars, or is it going to be manufacturer specific? Thank you for all your help wareagle. I appreciate this more than you know.
