    Default FS/FT: Reedy powered (nearly indestructable) Blitz w/upgrades (2 LiPo's included)

    Hello, all. I never thought the day would come that I'd get rid of this thing--it's so much fun.

    What's included?

    -HPI Blitz w/ RPM arms and other RPM upgrades (Chassis is brand new)
    -Integy front shock tower
    -Proline Chevrolet body
    -Two 11.1v 20C 5,000mAH lipos. (Always balanced, and both charge to ~6,000mAH)
    -Futaba 2PL AM radio, and Futaba 72mhz receiver.
    -Reedy XP SC-450BL ESC
    -Reedy 3,300kv brushless motor
    -Upgraded springs
    -Upgraded steering servo (higher torque)
    -Savage custom front bumper (super strong)

    Side notes:

    I know some people may not be a fan of the "cheaper," "off-brand" batteries, but I have to say...these lipos are awesome. I get over 45 minutes of bashing on each battery. That's an hour and a half of pure fun.

    I am running a 19t pinion, and the factory spur gear. (I think it's 65t?)

    In the pictures, the motor cover isn't installed, but it will be when sold.

    Pros:

    -It's fast, very fast.
    -It's extremely durable. (I will dig up some videos to show some of the beating it's taken.)
    -Plenty of run time with the two batteries.
    -It comes with a few extra parts!

    Cons:

    -The rear bumper and bumper support are broken. (The zip tie has held it like that for a long time now, so I haven't bothered replacing them)
    -The body is a little banged up, and I had the issue with the rear coming off where the body pins held the body on, so I put big washers under the pins and I haven't had that problem since.)
    -One of the battery hold down screws broke off about 1/2" from the top. (This does not hinder it's ability to hold the battery--it's simply cosmetic if you want to call it that)

    Here's one of my favorites (Bad quality, but you get the point)

    Here's another of my favorites. I hit a rock right before the jump and it through me off course LOL

    Here's a pretty cool backflip that I was doing at the local skatepark. It was about 9' in the air at most. (I was running the stock electronics at this time)

    Here's an 8' high jump with a perfect landing

    What am I looking to get out of it?

    If I had to put a price, I would say $300.

    I would also be interested in trading it for a CP heli. Class 200 and up.
    Blade SR, Blade CP pro and Blade CP pro 2, Blade 400...etc. You get the point...

    Thanks,
    Allen
