*****Question*****
Is the bone stock sprint 2 fun to drive for awhile?.......before you get around to doing some needed mods? It's a super cool looking chassis and mechanicals......as well as the falken gt3 body and wheels!
Thanks Marv and everyone.....great fun here!

YOU BETCHA!!!
The OEM chassis is fine for bashing or outlaw street meets.
I recommend that it NOT be used for the serious racer for club or sanctioned racing.
It's warped seven ways from sundown.
It may or may not work for drifting -
I don't know how precise a chassis has to be tuned to go sideways on purpose. 
It's well built and can take a pounding when compared to other, more "delicate", non-kit cars.
I'm a greybeard "retro" rookie, so my skill level is a bit rusty (and arthritic) =
However, thanks to modern radio technology and pain killers =
I'm slowly improving...
This is a "unique" points series =
You even get points if you don't race or just leave... 
Pay your fee, break your car during a qualifier / main and if you can't get it
fixed in time for the next round or at all or you just go home early = bingo!
You get points!
How great is that!
And pardon me for not welcoming all of you newest S2 owners to the thread before now!
My bad...
WELCOME! 
Thanks for posting your input, fixes, mods and upgrade info!
This thread started 05/22/2012 =
Three things I have noticed over the past 6 months:
1) A decline in HPI Sprint 2 cars and rollers for sale (other than drift cars) on R/C Tech and eBay.
2) The S2's cars and rollers that are for listed for sale are asking higher prices.
3) To the best of my knowledge, this is the most complete HPI Sprint 2 thread on the world wide web when it comes to fixes, mods and upgrades (and it's not even an "OFFICIAL" thread).
So if you have a fix or a mod for the HPI Sprint, Sprint 2 post it up.
My voodoo works for me...
Until I find better voodoo -
All voodoo is welcome here.
