I would def reduce preload if at all possible. The premise is: you want the front stiffer so steering reacts to your inputs more quickly/accurately; the rear you want soft so that when you accelerate and the rear squats and takes the majority of the weight, it’s able to transfer the weight to the ground for more traction. Edit: just realized this is several months ago.
Bro soft front stiff rear but it also depends on your local track or what tires ur running but it’s all Preference when n doubt do what the pros do don’t listen to everyone including me take everything with a grain of salt and go from there don’t over think it low in slow
That's definitely a good shout! As I have now learnt, most drift chassis are softer springs in the rear than the front. The more I learn the more I realise how badly setup this chassis was!
It's very interesting how everyone differs there setup! On my RMX 2.0 I have it very different to this! I should go back and try again with this chassis with greater knowledge!
Just getting and learning rwd drift and when I moved my shocks almost like a road set up straight up and down in both front and back it helped sp much and with a lot of easy motion in the back
My RMX chassis setup is very different from what I was doing with this Sprint 2! At some point I want to set everything up like my RMX and compare the performance!
I'm running Sprint 2 with Yeah Racing conversion too! Cheers! I ran the HPI blue springs and preload thr rear stiff and fronts with the Yeah Racing Yellow Dot springs I believe, soft but the Sprint also needs weight up front I noticed
I'd say bad thing as then you get less grip on the rear, so basically the softer the better on the rear, at least on carpet, make it soft and put shock more vertical so the car squats when accelerating
The sprint 2 can be a bit finicky. One of our drivers has one. He set it up very similar to a rally style suspension with tons of travel. Was super gripped up on carpet.
@scaledynasty there's is a ridiculous amount if adjustability so you have more of your damper to use, I'm all for stance slides but the way the rwd kit is put together it definitely is needed at least in the rear
Knowing what I now know about rwd setup, there is lots wrong with the box settings for this kit, and lots wrong with how I built it! The front end is the let down though, the amount of slop is ridiculous! I need to swap out all the ball ends and cups for Yokomo or MST as when I had this chassis running I couldn't use above 20% gyro gain as I got terrible wheel wobble!

Ya pretty much. You want the rear as floppy as you can get it and the front reasonably stiff. Some guys don’t even run shock fluid in there shocks
OK cool, yeah I have heard about people using no oil! I will try a softer setup on the back with more up and down rear shocks!

Thank you for the comment, non the less! It is still very relevant and useful information!

Soft in the back stiffer in the front
I definitely need to revisit this chassis!
@@scaledynastyidk id try it the other way around

For me i have hardened springs in the back but not to hard and i have softer springs in the front

My sprint 2 is all kinds of messed up. I need to revisit this chassis!

Fantastic, thank you for the feedback, I will try that out!

If you could get me some suspension specs to try out, that would be really appreciated!
@@scaledynasty for sure I'll see what information I can get from him
That would be awesome dude, thank you!
Yes
🙏🙏🙏
I kept the factory fluid on my MST RMX 2.0S & just changed the shock straight up and down, personally I think it made a huge difference
It's amazing how simple things can make such a big difference!
Is this a sprint 2?
Yes! Rear wheel drive converted Sprint 2 using the Yeah Racing conversion kit!
I ha thought so If it helps check out roadside Rcs UA-cam he has a bunch of really great drifting videos and how tos
Thank you for the suggestion! I've seen a lot of his videos, great guy with great content!
Get yr shock towers
I have looked at this option many times!

@scaledynasty definitely get titanium buckles for the sprint chassis... just snapped one with my thumb..
@@Rebuiltr.c. yeah, they provide aluminium in the kit huh!
