I felt this way too early on about the hopeless part. Every race something broke or came loose. I was struggling just to finish a heat. Steering was difficult at best. I just shelved my HPI and got an Associated TC4. This taught me what the issues were as I had some trouble with the TC4 but not nearly as much. This forum and especially Marv's work have helped me resurrect the HPI Sprint 2 so my son can race his and actually do well. He's not winning too many races yet, but he's still learning to drive as am I. At least now he can get around the track and not have to fight the car. Just being able to finish a heat makes so much of a difference. Now we can work on the finer points of driving and set-up and get mine back on the track too.
