| Not much really! It is a big track so gearing should be about the same as out doors, kit tyres seem to work well or mini pins so long as they are soft compound. |

| Stick with the 88 and let your motor unwind a bit - 83 is good for top end speed but might end up cooking your bits with all the acceleration needs of a tight track. |

Have a look at your steering knuckles. As standard the Blitz has the trailing ones fitted. With the car you get a pair of inline ones. Fit the inline ones to the car if they arent already, they help the car turn in better. How to tell? Look at the pins that the front wheels pivot left to right on, if the pin is inline with the wheel bearing, thats the inline knuckle, if the pin is infront of the bearing, its the trailed one.
Ive not driven this new track yet but it worked really well on the old indoor tracks, and all the national rounds too.
Also I have been running my truck front wishbones level and rear driveshafts level.
With regards to upgrades, the only important one I would say is a 10.5t brushless with Lipo's. Other than that the Blitz is a great truck. Perhaps look at changing the steering linkage to a metal one as there is loads of flex in there, but thats by no means an essential upgrade. I intend on doing mine before next season.
If you need any more help or info come and find me. Ill be running the blue and orange chevy silverado shell.
