While you may not ever be able to get behind the wheel of Vaughn Gittin Jr’s one-off 1969 RTR-X Mustang, HPI Racing is offering the next best thing. The company recently announced the Sprint 2 Sport RTR, a 1/10th scale radio-controlled version of the custom built muscle car. While a 5.0L V8 powers the real life car, a*Firebolt 15T motor powers the scale model, mated to a 4-wheel drive transmission. The car also features two sets of Work Meister S1 wheels, two sets of tires with different tread patterns and an adjustable suspension system.
2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM
Controlling the Sprint 2 Sport RTR is easy with the HPI TF-40 2.4GHz radio system. No need to worry about changing crystals, the radio prevents frequency conflicts automatically. The TF-40 pistol grip transmitter features adjustments for steering trim, throttle trim, steering dual rate, end points, servo reversing switches, low battery indicator and a 3rd channel for optional accessories. The 3 channel receiver is equipped with a failsafe system for maximum safety.
WATERPROOF
The Sprint 2 Sport RTR now has a waterproof receiver box to keep the 2.4GHz receiver protected from the elements for glitch-free operation. A new SF-10W waterproof steering servo and a waterproof SC-15WP speed control mean your Sprint 2 Sport RTR won’t be stopped by wet conditions.
BETTER EQUIPPED
To help get your new Sprint 2 Sport RTR running as quickly as possible, a rechargeable 7.2V Plazma 2000mAh battery pack and AC wall charger are now included, along with Plazma AA’s for your transmitter. Just charge the battery and you’re ready to start driving!
