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

NEW PRICE - $200 FIRM

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

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)

Videos:


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 obo.

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...

And before you say it, yes I know...one tire is on backwards. Lol I didn't have a right side wheel/tire when that one stripped the wheel hub.

Thanks,
Allen

Tore up as in...?

Yes, it's been bashed pretty good. It's dirty, and there are some burrs on a few of the plastic pieces, but the only thing broken is the rear bumper and rear bumper support.

It runs and drives just as it did the day I got it.

The price is or best offer, as well. Let me add that.

Would you rather that I lie about it?

I built the thing to do two things. Go fast, and be able to withstand a beating.

Check.

And check.

I am very straight-forward. I don't want to ship this thing to someone, and them expect one thing, and receive another.

Should I be blamed for this?
