|  CD in the box? I was looking at my blitz box and it says that there is a cd inside? I was woundering if it was something important I didnt get one with mine. Oh and also I got the truck 2 weeks ago have had it out 4 time so far just on the street. I noticed the first time i had it out the whole truck vibrates at speeds like the tires are lumpy or something. So i took the 2 front tires off to see if anything was broken maybe a bearing but the bearings are good and nothing seems broken. The truck goes stright just vibrates the truck is stock and i have changed anything yet just put a batter in it and drove it. Could it be bad tires or wheels? I dont know much about this stuff just wanna know how to fix it . |

| I noticed the same sticker about a cd or dvd included. I emailed customer service and they said it was just marketing material and showing off some other products. Nothing to do with operation or maintenance of the Blitz. They offered to send me one if I still wanted it, but I passed. Speaking of videos though, i'd love to see a series of YouTube videos that cover all of the maintenance and tuning procedures. Would be very helpful for a new person like myself. |

| You might just need to balance them. |

| I have found that the rim it self is not true and makes the tire uneven so how would you balance something like this or are all the rims for the blitz like this? I havent drivin it much because ive been trying to fix this wheel problem and I didnt damage anything or install anything improperly while trying to figure out this problem i didnt take the tire of the rim because I dont have glue, dont know how to get the tire off the rim, and ive never glued one of these together before. All I did was take the wheels off. There is no binding and the wheel spins free very well. Is it maybe a defect from the factory molds of the rim? |

| Stock rtr tires and wheels are notorious for being out of balance, they will have one very heavy spot and that will shake the heck out of the wheel at speed. See if your lhs has a prop balance for airplanes, you can use that to balance your tires. Just lightly spin the tire until it stops with the heavy side to the bottom, then you can use bits of modeling clay on the opposite side until the tires run balanced. They do wobble a bit in the wheell due to molding processes but I have found that after I have balanced the wheel and tire you never notice that wobble. Hope that helps ya out.  |
