HPI's 1/10th scale Sprint 2 Sport Drift updates the company's premiere electric club racer into a full-featured drifting machine that's bound to command every enthusiast's attention.  Easy to drive and capable of providing consistent drift action, it's the perfect vehicle to realize your tire-burning fancies.

This special version of the sexy Sprint 2 Sport adds specially-designed hard compound drift tires, mounted on chrome-plated Volk T37 replica wheels.  Available with either a Toyota Trueno AE86 or a Nissan 350Z body shell, it's laden with a realistic street look that will make you feel like you're in the presence of a full-scale drifting machine.  The body is made of lexan material comes bare, so you can paint and decorate it yourself using either the included decals or some of your own custom pieces.

If realistic drifting is what you're looking for, this car will have you running like it's the real thing.  It's supposedly designed to ride on a wide variety of surfaces, although most who have tried the car know it works best on even roads with no rocks or pebbles (so be careful).  The assembled 4WD nylon chassis does help provide consistent movements, allowing you to perform with flexibility, durability and controlled handling.  It runs on an electric powertrain, which makes for quiet operation despite the chaotic nature of the performance.

It comes with all the features you need for an ideal drifting set-up, with handpicked components specifically for the job.  A wide variety of shock oils and springs are also available for individual needs, along with several tuning options right in the kit (adjustable suspension turnbuckles, 2-degree and 3-degree rear hubs, among others) .  Numerous protective implements keep your car safe from the usual hazards of the sport, including huge foam bumpers (to cushion it from damaging impacts), upper deck and shock towers.

Whether indoors or outdoors, the HPI Sprint 2 Sport Drift should help you deliver optimal technique, helping you churn out the best lines, angles and show factor for your hair-raising drifts.

Traxxas Slash 4X4 Looks Like Awesome Fun

by admin on November 26, 2009

Coming just in time for the indoor racing season, a brand new bomb is about to drop on the RC industry in the form of the Traxxas Slash 4x4.  All new from the ground up, the highly-anticipated, 1/10 scale race vehicle is building a buzz that has both old and new fans excited.

Produced using the latest innovations that's bound to leave competitors scrambling to catch up, the truck exhibits simplicity and versatility on all corners.  Using just three gear meshes to drive all four wheels, it eliminates the need for a multi-gear transmission, facilitating utmost efficiency.  The integrated design marries all parts seamlessly, allowing for unencumbered operation and easy maintenance (note the single-screw motor access and slide-out differential).

The Slash 4x4 uses a Velineon Brushless Power System that lets it post speeds of up to 60 mph (with a 3S LiPo) without much struggle.  A rigid chassis supports it both on and off track, maintaining a balanced weight throughout the whole ordeal.  Telescopic driveshaft components allow for increased rear suspension travel, letting you handle difficult terrains as capably as a full-sized, short-course pro.

Sporting officially-licensed BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A Tires, the Slash 4x4 can bulldoze its way through any obstacle with ease.  Durable waterproof protection leaves the truck's electronics safe from hazards such as water, mud and snow, while the smooth undersurface keeps it free from acquiring debris while on the go.   Other notable features include a TQ2.4Ghz radio system, Revo differentials and Castle Mamba Monster compatibility (no drivetrain upgrades needed).

The Traxxas Slash 4x4’s realistic look, great handling and unusually simple maintenance place it among the top RC vehicles soon to be available on the market.   Made for aggressive and controlled driving, it's more than just a new toy car - it's a whole new platform for racing.
