I would be interested it were a bit less expensive. $90 is too much in my opinion. I find the Yeah Racing one too costly as well. I would pay up to $40 for the single lower carbon chassis.

Comparison showing difference of the 2 chassis (width 5 1/8" vs 3 5/8") Before I move everything over to graphite chassis I want to document lap times on the stock one,
I am currently running an old school setup (eventually I will be moving over to BL)....Hitec HFX with 19T brushed single spec stock chameleon =) using either 3800 6 cell nimh or 7 cell nimh ..on foams this thing moves and handles quite well now just fine tuning suspension. setup and go from there...

Hey I am new to the forum, i recently bought a sprint 2 and added 5900kv motor on it.
i also just recieved sprint 1 steering arms does anyone have a manual of how to install them? which order the washers go more specifically. Mods i did so far are mods so i can fit my usual square hardcase lipo batterys.

Manuals and exploded diagrams are your friend.

Finding some time and motivation...making the transfer to full carbon chassis and towers, for now I think i will stick with upper stock chassis brace. Also cf shock towers will need shock mount holes drilled out just a hair...more to come.

Not much left on the old carcass ...I may go with a different esc/motor later on but for now the spektrum/Vapor (aka caslte) really works well. Luv that cf with the anodized orange ...never gets old
Front end is getting more than just the exotek bulkheads...went ahead with yeah racing knuckles and carriers along with alum. turnbuckles

A couple of things to point out below, at first I was getting some binding/catching just make sure those bearings are in flush, these were a tight fit. Second the turnbuckle ends with hex ballends was good upgrade and was impressed with fit and finish so far

Guys I see this thread hasn't been idle for too long. Just got a Sprint 2 Sport and have been having a bit of a read. Carpark basher with a very competitive 'race' mate so looking for all the good info.
Just ordered the essential suspension and steering kit and running stock electrics with a three cell Lipo at the moment.
So how are your builds and cars going?
