Just getting my feet wet in VTA racing and I have a TC5 VTA setup on route to me now.

I have a buddy looking for a car as well.

My question is this: Is the HPI Sprint2 a good starting point for a VTA car or is one better off finding something else?

He has a couple older Losi's but I don't know if parts are around to make them work.

Thoughts from those who have been around more.
It is a great car with solid parts availability, and especially starting with the VTA style one, you are almost legal out of the box (add ESC and motor). Most clubs will also let you run it box stock just to get your feet wet. When someone comes out with a true RTR VTA car, i have the feeling they are going to do very well with it.
