Legendary German Design - HPI Flux Horsepower

This HPI Sprint 2 Flux includes an amazingly detailed BMW M3 GTS body and is propelled to speeds in excess of 50 mph using HPI Flux brushless power. The sleek and powerful curves of the M3 GTS are the perfect compliment to the tire shredding power provided by HPI Flux technology. With a smooth belt driven 4WD drivetrain and a sturdy chassis design, the Sprint 2 Flux is the ideal foundation for a fun and easy-to-drive model car. Add the muscular lines and shapes of the brutally powerful BMW M3 GTS and you've got an instant winner, with the power to control it at your fingertips!

This HPI Sprint 2 Flux is powered by an extremely powerful HPI Flux Vektor 5900 brushless motor for ultra-fast speeds, a LiPo-compatible Flux Vapor waterproof electronic speed control, and a powerful waterproof steering servo. It's ready to tear up the tarmac right out of the box!

The HPI Sprint 2 range of models is the perfect starting point for anyone new to RC cars, as a second (or third!) model for owners of other HPI kits, and even for club racers looking for a durable, fun and low-maintenance race car. The Sprint 2 is a 1/10th scale RC car that fits dozens of different HPI bodies, as well as a huge selection of scale custom wheels and realistic rubber tires. All Sprint 2 RTR models are ready to go straight out of the box, with a fully built car, pre-painted body, glued tires and electronics supplied and fitted. All you need to get started is a suitable RC car battery and charger. Whether you are into street car action, muscle car performance, race car speed or sideways drift action, the Sprint 2 is the perfect car for you!

Speed and handling of this car is good overall. However, from a user friendly standpoint, this car is quite possibly one of the worst engineered RC vehicles I have ever owned. You literally have to remove the three (3) battery leads from the ESC to install and/or remove a battery in this car. The swing out battery holder cannot be rotated without prior removal of the motor leads from the ESC. In addition, there really isn't enough real estate on the lower chassis to relocate the ESC to create clearance for the swing out assembly. The waterproof receive box on the opposite side of the chassis renders that swing out battery holder assembly inoperable as well. The ESC and battery layout really should have been given much more consideration during the product design process. Because removal and replacement of the battery is such a common activity when operating an electric RC vehicle, I've given this car an extremely low overall rating. I would avoid this car and consider the Sport 3 Flux as much better alternative for fun and convenient operation.

HPI Sprint 2 Flux Brushless RTR w/BMW M3 GTS Body & 2.4GHz Radio System
I bought this car to play around with on road racing. First trip out to practice the ball caps popped off with any sort of mild contact to anything. Then the dog bone would pop out. This problem was increased due to the horrible steering setup on the car. There's so much slop that it's difficult to keep straight. These things combined meant I spent more time looking for dog bones on the track than driving. I also discovered the slop in the steering meant the car never came back to neutral after a left turn. The kit doesn't come with a manual. Getting batteries to fit in the poorly designed tray was another frustration. It's just an all around poorly done kit. Everything I experienced can be found all over the internet. My suggestion would be to stay away from HPI, and anything they are associated with.
