Although HPI option parts were long ago discontinued for the Sprint 2, between Exotek, Yeah Racing and GPM, there's nothing carbon fiber or aluminum you can't find. Most plastic parts are still available from HPI as well.

I wouldn't quite sell that chassis though, as it is a relic and may one day have parts support again. Plus, used Sprint 2's are sold dirt cheap on a daily basis. You can find new condition rollers for well under $100 on the Internet and I've seen complete used Sprint 2 (minus a body) go for as little as $50-$60 many times.

Ah yes, I have a few old HPI's right now, maybe I should wait to see what Ripmax does. Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it; I'll keep an eye out for some used ones.
