Questions?? Buying a Blitz

why are they out of stock every where? Is there a new version coming out soon? I know they just updated the savage 4.6 and the e firestorm. I finally have the $$$ to buy one and now they go out of stock. Is there anywhere else I can buy one for around what tower wants after the $30 club discount and free shipping? Is there a way to pick what body you get, tower just lets you pick the radio ch... does that determine what body you get?

I Found a code for amain but they said shipping will be at least $18 Tower shipping is free for orders over $150, I guess I will just have to wait for it to come back in stock.

Is there a way to pick what body you get, tower just lets you pick the radio ch... does that determine what body you get?

Free shipping is never over if your a member. Only reason i pay the $20 every year just for a place to buy new rigs for a steal, everything else i get else where but a new rig it's worth dealing with the wait..

I wanted something different to drive I only have MTs and every one seems to like SC and they look cool. I picked the blitz because it seems to be good for bashing and it should hopefully use some of the same screws my brushless Savage 21 does, and the Savage has always been a good truck almost 8 years old and still a very good truck. I was also looking at the Slash or a SC10 but the Blitz had the best price and the stock tires look better for bashing (grass, street, dirt). Is there a better truck? I'm open to ideas.

Not because I am selling mine, but do some reading up on the ESE model of the blitz. That white plastic is very stiff but also very brittle. People have been having chassis and all the other plastic pieces snap with not too much provocation.

Whatever you do, you should consider the standard blitz and add your own ball diff if you want that.
