Where did you get it from? and how much

How did you get one already? I didn't think they were shipping yet.

I'm guessing he ordered one.... if not, I am perplexed.

Edit: when I get mine I am going with a 17.5BL system to run in our stock Short Course class.

I have one pre-ordered, and have not heard anything about them being ready to ship yet. The only thing I can think of is that he got it directly from HPI and paid full-ticket price.

Ouch! Isn't the street price going to be around $239? Hefty markup to be the first on the block... and then not have electronics to run it yet.

It looks to be pretty well optioned out. I did not know they had them ready for sale yet.

The electronics I guess will depend on what your local rules are if you plan on racing it. My Blitz runs especially well with a 10.5 Novak BL system in it.

I need to find an option for the diff outdrives. Seems the original Blitz outdrives are made out of a pretty soft metal. After just a little of runtime, there are pretty large groves forming in them where the dogbone pins run. Anybody here know of an aftermarket solution made out of harder metal? I need to pick up some CVD's for it as well.

MIP just announced a ball diff and C-cvds for the blitz
