So you know you want to get into
1/8th off-road buggy racing, but you're not sure where
to start? Here's the perfect solution! The Lightning 2
Sport has everything you need to get started, from a
prebuilt racing chassis, installed electronics, even a
fuel bottle and AA batteries!
A beefy 4mm thick 6061-series
shock tower keeps things in control up front. Something
this massive gives out the 'I mean business' vibe! Front
CVA axles improve efficiency and the suspension action,
while long-stroke coil-over shocks soak up the bumps and
jumps. 22 degree hub carriers are set at the optimum
angle for perfect off-road performance.
Benefiting from the Lightning 2
Pro's ancestry, the Sport version features a low-profile
upper deck and fuel tank. The main chassis is kept stiff
by an aluminium steering brace and front and rear
chassis braces. The redesigned battery box keeps the
receiver pack mounted lower in the chassis than previous
designs. A bash guard on the exhaust stinger tip keeps
mud out of the tip, preventing flameouts and damage to
your tuned pipe. Our own tough .26 engine is started by
the popular Jump Start system, and breathes through a
burly aluminium tuned pipe for maximum torque and top
speed! The power is distributed to the front and rear
diffs through a sealed centre differential. Everything
spins on a set of ball bearings for optimal efficiency.
For maximum stopping power, you get a set of adjustable
front and rear brakes! Keeping stones and dirt off
everything is a custom-painted blue Lightning body
shell, perfect for making a statement out on the track!
A sway bar in the rear keeps
things planted for improved grip in the turns. The
sturdy rear racing wing is made from a tough material
and mounts using screws for extra peace of mind during
those long A Finals!
Of course all this is wrapped up
in a cool RTR package. With tough servos and proven HPI
TF-3 narrowband AM radio gear installed, this is the
ultimate off-road racing starter package! You even get
an extra set of steering knuckles and a spare wing! All
you need to provide is nitro fuel, fuel bottle, 12 AA
batteries, glow plug igniter, and C size battery!
