Our friends at BigSquidRC.com have published a very interesting review of the HPI Blitz ESE.
Yes, the Blitz ESE is a genuine kit! Meaning you don’t have to depend on the skills of some 12 year old Asian girl to determine how good your truck turns out, the quality of your truck is up to you. Personally I like kits, and think they are good for the hobby. You may not dig building kits, if so, the hobby shelves are loaded with pre-built trucks for you.
How long did it take me build? I didn’t really time it, but it took me roughly 5 movies, I watched A Clockwork Orange (bad movie to build a kit to btw!), The Usual Suspects, Wall-E, Back to the Future II, and American Gangster during the build.
HPI takes you a slightly different route during the build than other manufactures. I say this because they have your assemble the shocks and differential first, where other 2wd 10th scale kits typically have you do these last or towards the end. I actually prefer the HPI method, having the shocks and diff done before hand makes for a better flow during the build.
