Rc lari Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Hi all. Need advist! What's everyone's oppinion on the HPI Blitz flux and HPI savage xs flux. Im thinking of buying one or the other but really unsure as I like the 4*4 bonus but never really had a short course 2wd other than a BSD prime storm I bought last week realised how poorly made it was and returned yesterday!! So really unsure can I get some advise from the knowledgeable ones on here please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeybadger Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I had a Blitz till recently. Loved it! The toughest, most reliable RC I've had so far. My 11 year old son used it more than me and we only had 2 breakages (front arm and part of the steering) in a year of bashing it most weekends. Only sold it as my son has a Mini ST nitro now and i wanted a Savage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjimknickers Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I vote blitz. I have the XS, it's a SoAB to work on I really hate working on it so much, it's in a box on bits at the moment, the blitz is based on the firestorm, which I have too & that is awesome! I far prefer that to the XS. But there two very different beasts so they can't be compared fairly really, it's down to what you prefer? 2wd? 4wd? Sct or stadium truck or monster truck?

Pistonhead Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Having owned a Firestorm in the past - which is effectively the same car but with a shorter chassis different wheels and body - i'd say Blitz too, it'll be a wheelie machine on 3s (or at least my Firestorm was lol) and just as fast as they both use the same electrics, just a whole load more controllable.

sean-vrs Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I had a Savage Xs for all of a week, goes fast but breaks easily and is a one trick pony in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicko Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I love my blitz, have had it for a year or so and not broke anything, it handles great on all kinds of surfaces and is quite an animal on 3s as mentioned by Pistonhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Blitz gets my vote, a great, fast Rc that is tough and will take a beating. Also plenty of hop ups to keep you happy. Out of the box it only needs a couple of hops ups to make it really perform (new wheels/tires, alum steering bellcrank and a couple of chassis braces) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc lari Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 What's else would u recommend I buy at the same time then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Depends on where you plan on driving it? If you're looking for something to bash around and take to skateparks etc I'd go for the XS, they're not that bad to work on once you know your way around them. They're one of the most fun rc's I've owned. The blitz would be a good choice if you fancy trying out racing but would be good for some jumps too.

Rc lari Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 To be honest I wont be going to skate parks maybe bmx track but mostly car parks / old in used gravel car parks which are arent level some some great puddles and over grown areas. Lol I have some where in mind can you tell!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 What's else would u recommend I buy at the same time then? A couple of lipos, a fast charger and the aluminium steering bellcrank. Also get some pro line trenchers, great for all round bashing and long lasting. Then once you have got used to driving it, let me know and I'll tell you what's the next step.

Rc lari Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Also I'm getting well confused as some sites say the bltiz flux car comes with a 4300kv motor and other say its a 4000kv motor. Which is it or is there 2 options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 EBay is good for hop-ups, yes the steering bellcrank will cost you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
