Oh god no please, if you think the Sprint2 is basic and a bit baggy in places try owning and running the Maverick TC or an Ansmann p.o.s.

You'll be begging to have the Sprint2 back!

Having run the HPI Sprint2 for a year with Callum, his is still fine (well it was until we stripped it as a donor) and the 24 Hr race showed just how robust they really are, all the bits I expected to break, plastic parts and belts etc are intact, and it was just wear and tear on the metal parts (which I would normally strip and lubricate between meetings) that led to the down fall of more than one cars handling.
With all the lessons learnt from this event I know most people who did this event would vote in favour of running the HPI Sprint 2 again, it was merely the motors that was the Achilles heal and let's face it, over 24 hours something has to give!
