This is the HPI Blitz 2WD Ready-to-Run Short Course Electric RC Truck with 2.4GHz radio system, 2000mAh NiMH battery pack, charger, and HPI DVD. It comes with a 2-year limited warranty through the manufacturer.
The HPI Blitz, the Short Course truck that took the scene by storm by combining the best in durability, performance, looks, style and innovation all into one ready-to-run package, is back and better than ever! The Blitz has received a makeover packed full of exciting new additions to once again set the precedent as the best Short Course truck on the market! The new Blitz RTR is now equipped with a high quality 2.4GHz radio system for crystal free driving, along with an all-new waterproof SC-15WP ESC and receiver box for wet weather excitement. Topping everything off is a fresh new Skorpion body and assets/images that has as much function as it does form.
All of the latest HPI kits are now fitted with a comfortable and feature-packed HPI 2.4GHz radio system for supreme control and confidence! The radio features a pistol-grip design with drop-down steering wheel, 3 channel functionality, easy carry handle, fold-down aerial, end point adjustments, servo reversing and steering dual rate. It's also extremely lightweight due to it requiring only four AA batteries. You won't have to worry about radio crystals or what channel other RC racers are using with our 2.4GHz technology - the radio does all that work for you! The radio prevents frequency conflicts automatically and changes channels if there is any interference. Finally, if you ever lose radio signal or battery power, an electronic failsafe will bring it to a safe and controlled stop. You'll have professional-level control in one easy RTR package!

HPI makes it as easy as possible to get into RC Off-Road action. The Blitz is completely pre-built and ready to go right out of the box!

HPI Ready-To-Run vehicles bring you the same high performance and quality that you'd expect from a high end RC kit but with the added convenience of being factory pre-assembled to the highest standards - giving you a high performance RC truck straight from the box!
Features
EYE CATCHING LOOKS
The Blitz is topped off with an all-new Skorpion body that was designed to not only look great with a wide and aggressive stance, but to also perform as well as it looks. The Skorpion body has received treatments in various areas to aid in the overall handling and feeling of the truck, both while driving it, and also while airborne. The body comes in two slick new color offerings, pre-cut and ready to go.
PROVEN HPI DURABILITY THROUGHOUT
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.
LONG WHEELBASE CHASSIS
The Blitz features a long wheelbase main chassis based on the E-Firestorm - lengthened to deliver the most stable feel a short-course truck can offer.
HIGH PERFORMANCE THREADED 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 diff for an enjoyable, easy-to-drive experience.
WATERPROOF ESC with LiPo CUT-OFF
The waterproof SC-15WP electronic speed controller features a LiPo battery cut-off to make your driving time safe as well as fun! You can use a 6- or 7-cell NiMH battery, OR a 2S Lithium-Polymer battery for extra speed and power! The safety cut-off makes sure any LiPo battery isn't discharged too much, extending its lifetime while protecting your batteries!
FIREBOLT 15T MOTOR
The Firebolt 15T motor provides plenty of power for competing at your local track to just plain fun bashing and jumps.
FULL BALL BEARINGS
A complete set of rubber sealed ball bearings are included for super smooth drivetrain 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 Ni-Mh/Ni-Cd or Li-Po battery pack of your choice with an easy to use thumbscrew hold down strap.
Just like all HPI cars and trucks, you get a full, in-depth instruction manual with step-by-step instructions that allow you to easily disassemble and reassemble your truck for maintenance and easy servicing. The manual also includes a handy parts list and full-scale drawings of the parts and hardware. And the included HPI RC Car DVD is your personal RC car expert in a box!
