yes raise the rear a little... weight transfer to the front should help with steering and also should get rid of push into the corners if your experiencing that also...maybe try front battery placement also...

Raise the rear or lower the front...

Stock oil is a little bit on the thick side, maybe lighter shock oil in front will help too.

Sylvain, would you reccomend the Blitz over the SC10? I am about to read your article now. I just want to know which truck has the more cometitive edge over the other. Thanks!

On some vehicles, if the front ride hieght is lower than the rear the vehicle will initiate a turn better. It's worth a try and can easily be changed back

I own both trucks but I have spent more time with my SC10. So far, the SC10 has a perfect score. Nothing broke and it still in perfect shape. The SC10 is easy to fine tune and it is based on the T4 so it is the most "racer" SC out there.


The Blitz is another excellent SC truck but it doesn't have the same "race" heritage as the T4 but it doesn't mean it can't be raced and win races.

I find some of these comments interesting. I have and race both an SC10 & T4. I heard a lot hype about how great the Blitz is out of the box so I bought one. At first it was pretty crappy. After a lot of track time and tinkering I like it as much as the SC10. It has a different feel though. You can get the steering pretty close but it will never feel as light as an SC10. However, once you get the truck set up, it is smooth, stable and loves bumps. I run mine on stock tires and I can control it pretty well on the track. It is a good alternative to the SC10 although it took a little work to get it that way. It is well built and durable like a slash. I run Blitz shocks on my SC10 now.

HPI has released many hopups parts for the Blitz. I'll install few and the HPI brushless motor just to know how the Blitz will handle with such extra power
