This is the HPI Blitz short course truck with included ATTK-10 "Art Series" Body. The HPI BLITZ Short-Course truck is now available with the ATTK-10 body, splashed with "Art Series" paint and graphics. This edgy artwork  gives the BLITZ the "2K10" look. There's a sinister black/gray version, and a crisp black/white version as well, check the end panel of the new Art Series box to see which is inside.

Under the Art Series body lurks the popular BLITZ chassis. Pre-built, ready-to-run goodness that has taken the Short-Course truck segment to new heights. The HPI Blitz uses nothing but the finest grade, high-impact nylon plastic on the most critical areas of the truck - from the bumpers to the super beefy arms and everything in between. HPI's industry known strength and durability makes the Blitz friendly for all - be it an R/C newcomer, or the skilled competitor.

Features:

  • Lengthened Chassis: The Blitz features an all-new main chassis based on the E-Firestorm - lengthened to deliver the most stable feel a short-course truck can offer.
  • High Performance Shocks: The threaded shock bodies feature super smooth shock action, as well as quick, on-the-fly adjustability.
  • Baja 5T Inspiration: The unique and proven pivoting skid-plates have been adapted from the unmatched Baja 5T platform, which are able to truly absorb impacts.
  • Maximum Rear Traction: Factory installed quick-change 3-degree rear toe block provides you with plenty of traction, and making changes is easy.
  • All Metal Gear Transmission: A Bulletproof, brushless ready, full-metal gear transmission comes stock in the truck, and is made to handle all the power you can throw at it. Silicone oil is also pre-filled in the differential for an enjoyable, easy-to-drive experience.
  • Firebolt 15T Motor: The blistering Firebolt 15T motor provides plenty of power from speed runs to competing at your local track.
  • Full Ball Bearings: A complete set of rubber sealed ball bearings are included for super smooth drive train operation.
  • 12mm Hex Hubs: 12mm Hexes will keep your wheels secure under extreme power, and will keep them from stripping out. 12mm Hex hubs are the short course industry standard allowing you to customize your truck with a wide variety of aftermarket parts.
  • Captured Hinge Pins: E-clip-less captured hinge pins make maintenance quick and hassle free, and also keep the suspension extremely smooth and snug.
  • Secure Battery Mount: A simple flip of the rear battery mount will allow you to secure the NiMH/Ni-CD or Lipo battery pack of your choice with an easy to use thumbscrew hold down strap.
  • TF-1 Transmitter: The Reliable and sturdy HPI TF-1 radio controls the Blitz short course truck. Trigger style throttle and brake controls provide you with finger sensitive action when accelerating and stopping!

H A P P Y D A Y S

I have personally sold four of these to friends. This SC truck is amazing. I think a gent at A Main told me "you can make any SC truck good". Which I believe to be true. It's just how your going to get there. Moreover, how much it's going to cost to get there. I believe the SC 10, Losi, and Kyosho to be a better truck on tight clay tracks for pro drivers with alot of money. The A Main track favors these vehicles to skilled drivers. Nevertheless, dollar for dollar the Blitz has them beat. This is the best basher/racer available today. It will rail any slash all day long. It is more durable (I have owned 5 slashes). Can you say metal drive train sealed diff? Check, check. So why not finish a race and not DNF in another truck? Buy a blitz an be happy! On a side note: avoid the blitz ese the frames and plastics are too fragile.

Now for the over-steering novices that are crashing into this and that or for 1/8 track driving stability the blitz is a "superior" (shout out to super Dave's rivalry) SC truck. Hands down the most durable truck. If you are a beginner, buy this truck. I would argue this truck for Intermediate drivers. A little setup can really plant this truck. Ruben at A main mentioned "hooked up" (shout out to Ruben at A Main - his words when I smoked the novice class 4/4 with this truck last week ;)

Reliability: After owning and witnessing many SC trucks in action I have to say the Blitz is the most durable truck in stock trim hands down.

Performance: My truck is on rails. I have it setup for A Main's track which is mostly crazy tacky high bite clay - godly terrain. Yea we are spoiled rotten in Chico.

Motor/ESC: Stock electronics are top for a $12 motor. Seriously buy brushless and lipos. However, for beginners, I have seen this truck haul some butt and do well on a tight track using 2s lipos (with a lipo cut-off of course). Upgrade your servo first. Then get a motor. Castle 5700 Epic 9.5/10.5 any decent brushless motor. All the motor listed will make this thing haul serious butt. Way too fast for Novices, but if your a MAN like me! You can never have enough power! Which ESC? one word - T E K I N. Don't be cheap. Do it right. The RS model will do nicely. You will be able to tone down all that power with the Tekin because you will be all over the place if you don't lol.

Setup: Easy to change things and work on car aside from steering rack lol. I am using the Thad Garner setup (which is mostly stock setup) 40wt in front 2 hole piston and 35 wt rear 2 hole piston SC 10 Gold springs front and rear. Swap the supplied front In-line steering bearing carriers. 30K in diff because it does leak :( Gold barcodes for A Main's track.

Servo: Lock the servo saver down 1st thing. Then go buy yourself a new servo lol ;) Your going to have to upgrade any rtr servo nubs. Plus the steering radius isn't he best on a blitz. A servo is a huge upgrade.

Tires: upgrade for your tracks liking of course (tires are 90% of your handling). Stock tires are amazing for bashing on/off road. They never wear down... ever... well as far as any other RC tire I have ran lol.

Shout out to Kendell for a sick track/facility and mostly employees at A Main. Thank you!

Thank me later - SteveO

This is about the most durable and best handling SC truck on the market today. It's an hpi so you know it's tough and has EXCELLENT product support.

Box stock setup rocks! Throw some proline calibers on this truck and go win some races!

Great truck. I've bashed the hell out of it and it just won't break. Got a Novak 13.5 brushless system and a Savox servo. The stock servo isn't to impressive nor is the transmitter. For the price, you can't go wrong. Very strong and durable. Recommend to everyone.

Bought this truck about 6 weeks ago, played around with, literally beaten the crap out of it and it still runs, even with a brushless kit in it, still taking the beating with no complains
the only thing that broke on it is the rear bumper, after jumping a BMX ramp, 15 or 20 feet in the air, falling on the back end... several times, then it broke... lol
great handling, great price for such a machine

This car is awesome! I have bashed it on the hard clay surface of our track and it never lets me down! I did change out the stock servo and radio, the motor is good but not quite fast enough for my preference.

Great driving truck with a few adjustments! The stock radio is terrible, but so are any other AM radio and receivers. The stock motor runs well in the stock class and is a winner.
