that thing looks crazy, if the price is right I want to pick one up immediately!!

Looks good, but why in the world would they do a 12th scale? What sence does it make.............they might just as well did a 16th then like the Slash. What are you going to run them against unless ya just wanna bash around.

Hmm, well, before Traxxas came out with the Slash 4x4, they made the 1/16 slash...so this could be leading to a 4x4 Blitz, or 4x4 HPI SCT truck? Never know, but I will personally not be picking this up..1/12 scale? Really now? As mentioned above, why not at least 1/16 like the Slash!

I like the fact they're taking a chance at something new instead of making another cookie cutter design. It's peaking my interest, that's for sure.

I would have much rather seen HPI come out with a 4WD blitz or 4WD large scale R/C than a 1/12th scale. Just my opinion.

I like it..........they sure did put alot of work in to it ....very over the top...... there is nothing like it .....so what would they sale it too......the sc 8 is an 1/8 ....scale looking truck and no ones racing it....and its a full on race truck and no one cares...it cost to much too run..there making rtr now because no will run it....sad.....so maybe they made it smaller too keep the cost down.....i spoke with a hpi factory team driver this weekend who had a chance too drive it already ...he love the truck ..its a little smaller then the blitz....more for bashing not so much racing....
who know maybe there testing the waters for more just like it bigger better......which's why iam buying one.........support new products so we can get rid of these old plat forms.... watching 1/10 buggies going around the track is like watching 5 min of Jurassic park movie ....

It looks cool but IMO it's too small for outside and too big for inside. I too wish they would have made a Blitz 4x4, I would have wanted that instead of the Slash 4x4.

Well we have talked about this a lhs and the slash blitz sc10 are actualy 8th scale not a true 10th scale my TTR pro 2 is actually a true 10 which would make it a 12th scale in race world. So make be I will have to pick on someone my own size now insted of gettin butt handed to me by the big boys lol
