Slated for release in the Spring, the HPI Blitz ESE vows to take short course RC to the next level. Throwing in a ton of premium upgrades to the already impressive 2WD's stock chassis, this can make an excellent replacement for your worn-down Blitz or a powerful entry to the short course truck scene.
Available as a kit, you can let your creativeness shine through as you customize the included ATTK-10 clear body with a paint job of your choice. It comes with a set of graphic elements and official logos to help you out in decorating, as well.
The Blitz ESE boasts a stiffer composite main chassis that claims overall quicker response. Color coded performance parts (white, cool gray and warm gray) let you see high-response parts at a glance, apart from lending it a more attractive appearance. Of course, it's only likely to remain that way until the first time it tastes dirt, at which point it will have to say hello to your favorite scrub.
HPI wasn't short on superlatives when describing the release. Precise steering and cornering from the firm front and rear arms, tougher skid plates for aggressive take-offs and landings, firmer bumpers for stronger and a whole host of other tune-ups have been outlined that make it a potentially super fast ride.
You'll have to supply a lot of the parts for this kit, including the motor, batteries, servos, wheels and tires. This adds a laundry list of things for you to pick up, but allows for plenty of customization on actual racing abilities. Expect the HPI Racing Blitz ESE Kit around April for a $250 price.
