ST Racing Concepts have released a massive new range of option parts for the HPI Blitz Short Course truck. All parts are made from aluminium and all are available in Gun Metal, Orange, and Silver anodizing. First are these front caster blocks, steering knuckles and rear hub carriers. The rear hub carriers features a set-screw over hinge-pin design that securely keep the hub carriers on the hinge-pins, and also keep the wear to a minimum by making the hinge-pins rotate in the arms and not in the aluminum hub carriers while also increasing the durability. Next up is a new HD front shock tower, HD rear shock tower and rear camber link plate. The heavy duty front and rear shock tower will eliminate the flex, keeping your suspension operating true to its design, while the rear camber link plate improves durability in this normally weak area on the short course truck. Also new is a front suspension brace, front and rear chassis brace and HD front bulkhead. The CNC machined front aluminum suspension brace is a great improvement over the stock piece providing much needed strength to the front suspension when used in combination with the front bulkhead. The front and rear chassis brace help strengthen the front and rear end of the chassis.
