The Blitz is based on a solid chassis and should be a great car but no way to really know until people actually have them in their hands.

RE: HPI's Blitz
You cant really compare the blitz to the rustler different chassis totally 
now you could compare the traxxas slash to the blitz as there both Short Course trucks,the rustler is a ST (staduim truck) like the hpi firestrom.
Check your local track to see what classes they run most run a short course class now be it stock class or open (BL)
Traxxas arent no1 in electrics they sell alot due to the price and durability of there RTR
As the blitz is new it needs to prove itself on the track first against its rivals but HPI make some great RTRs so quality should be good [8D]

RE: HPI's Blitz
yes, you can compare the blitz to the slash. if you cant compare them becasue they have different chassis. then you cant compare any trucks to eachother

Look again the Slash and the Losi Striker are both built off of 2wd MT chassis's. The AE SC10 and HPI Blitz are both built off of Stadium truck chassis. All I am is saying is that everyone tries to compare these trucks to each other and I really don't think that it is possible seeing how they are built on different setups. Just my opinion...[8D]

RE: HPI's Blitz
Know what you mean T9 i was thinking more along the lines of race classes but your right some of them are built of different chassis,and hard to compare but with short course being the big thing at the moment with every company bringing one out they all get put in a class together.

RE: HPI's Blitz
All I can say is that HPI has shown with the E-firestorm that they can get close to or match the Rustlers in terms of durability but exceed them in terms of handling. If the blitz continues this trend, we might have a good vehicle that has the durability of a slash, but handles significantly better.
