HPI Joined the Short Course Bandwagon

[MetalMan]

Well, despite the my lack of free time I soldered on a Deans plug, topped off a 2s Lipo, and took this truck for a spin. I must say, brushless/higher voltage has really spoiled me. It could be the fact that this 2s pack is at least 2 years old, and was a 6400mah 15C, but the Blitz's speed was far from impressive. I'd estimate about 25mph. Even in the small area of my back patio it was full throttle most of the time, this is where brushless has made me a good driver.

I purposely rammed into some objects just as minor stress tests and am happy to report that (so far) this truck flexes just right. A lot of the steering of this truck comes from the back end, but it'd be even better if there was a thicker fluid in the diff (assuming it contains grease). Temps on the stock electronics were great after 10mins of HARD driving, relative to the meek power output of the motor of course!

My original intentions were to keep this truck as stock as possible... But I'll never want to drive something so slow LOL
