Im also after a Cross rc 6x6. The XC6 is more my bag though.

@johninderby nice. got these on my xmas list now! https://www.digikey.co.uk/products/en/tools/screw-and-nut-drivers-sets/249?k=precision hex

Buy the old firestorm layshaft (brushed) and fit a team associated slipper setup. the setup is better (it actually supports the spur gear....) and you can run associated spurs which dont seem to destroy themselves. Also the associated spurs are in stock.... check the blitz owners thread. im sure the part numbers are in there somewhere....

They look beautiful! Whats the damage walletwise to us mere listeners?

no worries dude. give me a pm if/when and we'll discuss...

i have a load of cvds and bearings going spare now ive sold my hyper

STRC Blow Out Sale http://www.teamstrc.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=155 got loads of cheap Blitz stuff

STRC BARGAIN SALE http://www.teamstrc.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=155 some super cheap blitz parts in there.... edit all the savage parts are a dollar!!!

Think I've sorted the 3 racing spur issue. Got some 9x5x4mm bearings on the way and I think the associated slipper pads will work fine though weirdly I only have one.... will have a go at building it into the spare gearbox this evening...

Soooo..... 3 racing spurs have turned up. they dont fit the stock slipper setup... not even close! however with a minor amount of work i can get them to fit the associated top shaft.... I just need some slipper pads with a 9mm centre hole. i think the hpi jumpshot ones will work. anybody got one they could measure for me? we'll see. Luckily I discovered I had a spare 88t spur in the spare gearbox that I thought was ready for overhaul.... so now I can go racing tomorrow!

Some escs with a built in adjustable BEC can be adjusted to suit your servo. Other than that you would need a BEC such as the Castle Creations one to acheive the full use of the servo. However they are still an upgrade on the stock one by a country mile even with 6v. still waiting. slowest plane ever....

I forgot to add she sports one of the bluebird full ally case servos. BMS 23a. Very fast on 6v. I havent had the chance to run it on 7.4 yet.... And it'll take 8.4v too... BTW I noticed 3 racing make some upgraded spur gears for this and the firestorm so I've ordered a few (5) to see how they fair. Cant be any worse than the stock hpi ones surely?! Should be here sometime this week so I'll report back once I've given it full 3s beans for a few packs....

Still very much alive.....

Bit of both. racing isn't serious or that competitive where i go but its good fun

Yup! all day long! Wheelies on tap, big slides! Not checked the top end but it kept up with a completely stock nero on 6s....

I've just realised I haven't really posted any up to date photos of my blitz since I bought it 2 years ago. Here she is as she stands today.... Proline Ford F150 Raptor Flotek shell Exotek front brace Titanium lunsford links with ESE rod ends STRC front and rear shock towers STRC hinge pin retainers front and rear STRC CNC castor blocks HPI Aluminium Steering set up RPM In line Steering knuckles RPM Rear Hub Carriers T Bone Racing SC Racer rear bumper Proline Badlands all round Hobbywing SC8WP esc with Hobbywing 3400kv motor running 20/88 gearing and 20k diff oil Custom aluminium esc mount I'd like some better shocks but the stockers are holding up ok still surprisingly! So to the pics..... Shes my baby, the only rig I've brought brand new and added everything too.... and she never fails to bring a smile to my face!

I dont give her full throttle very often but its very useful for a quick pass or surprising mates lol. I made my own esc mount out of some ally sheet. Another useful tip is to swap the steering knuckles out for the included in line ones, makes a world of difference to handling!

I still run mine. Love it!! I run her on 3s. Ive learnt to control the power now.....

I've got tiger stripes on my belly and red knees lol

Spent all day yesterday and a few hours this morning on a dumper re surfacing the track. I'm now one very crispy critter.... On the bright side, a few hours with the rakes and the track will be the best I've ever seen it!

try a new rx first. you never know. Are there any lights on the esc?

Almost....

Ascender?

2 X Turnigy 3s 4000mah lipos for me. 2 X Nanotech 3s 5000mah lipos for a work friend and An Arrma Nero for the work friend. needless to say not a lot happened at work after the nero turned up.... First Arrma vehicle Ive seen in the flesh. I must say I'm impressed! VERY fast out the box.....

wiki fails me..... I never knew they sold the 4runner here! Cheers for the info @capri-boy
