HPI Sprint 2 Lamborghini Gallardo: Part 2 (brushless conversion)
It has been a while since I have written but have been busy with work and other projects including setting up HD for video production and setting up and building the Tamiya F104 pro (stay tuned).
I have to say the HPI Sprint 2 RTR is an amazing RTR package, the car is well built and handles well on the track. For a RTR it is hard to find kits that are so competitively priced and can run as well as this chassis, I have really enjoyed doing the brushless conversion and testing the car.
The mamba max system was chosen and used the 5700kv motor for now, the only thing other than the brushless system I used is a Robinson Racing 48p 22t pinion, everything else is bone stock on the car and it runs very well.
I am using Trakpower 2s lipo so had to make some small modifications on the battery tray, such as adding double sided tape to the bottom of the tray without taking the other sticker off. This is to ensure that the thinnner lighter lipo battery stays on the battery tray along with using dremel on the top of the battery mount so I can pass the two positive and negative power cables through.
