Converting touring car to rally car
Hey all,
I have an HPI Sprint 2 Flux and was wonder what i would have to do to convert this thing to a rally car. The reason why i ask is because the only place i can drive this thing without bottoming out all the time is on the street. There's a huge tennis court in front of my house i would like to drive at but there are some pretty nasty cracks that the car just barely passes over. If i can't convert it to a rally car, could i atleast upgrade to threaded shocks / stiffer springs to increase the ride height? Thanks

I would try longer shocks. Is there an undertray available for the Sprint? Dust and dirt kills will kill the belts.
Here's a picture of my rallycar. Reely Touringcar with longer shocks and selfmade upperdeck.

Put in longer shock arms and remove the droop screw.

I'm a noob, and have to ask....What are droop screws? I am considering turning my HPI Sprint 2 into a rally car as well. Money is tight, so going out and spending $200, or more, on a DF 03RA kit isn't possible. I would love one, but not possible.
