Default HPI Blitz aluminium steering rack

So many questions......
Has it been released yet? If so where can I get one? Is it better than the strc version? Either will do, i need to get the steering sorted for tighter narrower tracks. If anyone has one to sell however, drop me a pm.

It appears there are no plans to release an HPI official part, looks like I'll need to order an strc one.

well this is the email from HPI customer services

Hi

Thanks for your email.

At the moment there are no plans to make an alloy steering system for
the Blitz. However if you have the Blitz RTR you could upgrade it to the
Blitz ESE version, parts:

103325 and 86905

Many thanks

Well in the US they have given out 4 prototypes to blitz owners to test so maybe they will only be sold in the US?

Rumour has it that priority is very, very low on the ally rack now, so it probably won't see release.

Awesome - they reckoned on RCShortCourse that release was really unlikely.

Doesn't even show the part on HPI USA yet - makes a nice change that we get these things earlier than the USA.
