My view so far...

So...I'e been driving the blast quite hard indoors for a few weeks now and thought I would share a couple of impressions.

The Blast has a promising future I think if a couple of minor but yet performance killing issues can be resolved.

The build quality is okay but it's spoiled by the bad drive shaft/servo issue and by the fact that the car is by far the nosiest I've ever heard. No matter what I do the sound of the blast is quite horrendous.

The steering set up is also an issue for me...as it seams to have a huge amount of 'wobble' and free movement. And of course locking up due to cutting down onto the actual drive shaft.

The blast also has issues using other wheels...I tried to put a set of my fastrak studs on and all locked up against the hubs as the hex fittings are slimmer then most. By default I think 12mm hex should fit a 12mm car...

The suspension set up also has issues. If you tighten the pins that hold the lower arms onto the car you get slight binding witch means the car does not 'lift' back up after taking a jump...lots of squat problem caused by this, you have to loosen the pins a bit to get free movement and that's just not a good thing to do...

So...like I said the car shows promise but currently I'm going back to just racing my X-Pro for now.
