    Got myself a used savage flux.

    Couple ways. Go to the main forum category page and click "Create Thread" in the upper right corner, then choose a forum to create the thread in. Or, go to the main forum category page, click on one of the sub categories on the left (Like the ones in the yellow box), then click "Post New...

    Got myself a used savage flux.

    Got a new motor/esc for my flux. Wasn't sure how waterproof the original was since it was the old blur esc. The previous owner said he sprayed stuff on the board, but odds are, he didn't remove the heat sink and get inbetween the fets. Got the Castle Bamba Monster X with sensored 2200kv motor...

    Got myself a used savage flux.

    Already replaced them with a set of pro-line trenchers. I've bought 12 of those mounted traxxas tires/wheels and at least half of them are so out of balance that they are nearly unusable at speed. Really ticks me off to spend that much money on brand new garbage.

    Got myself a used savage flux.

    Added a new set of tires and XL extended axles so they wouldn't rub much on the front shocks. Check out my latest vids here with it: https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/threads/recent-bash-videos-2017-09-01-2017-09-09.114239/

    Got myself a used savage flux.

    Yep. I kind of hit my height limit with my brushless revo. Now I just burn through rod ends and shock ends when I hit decent jumps. I figured that now that I have the flux, it can be my non-cold weather rig and my ERBE can be my snow rig. Since you tend to not jump as much in the winter due to...

    Got myself a used savage flux.

    Well, I ran it pretty hard with lots of jumps last weekend (check out the vids) and the only issues I had were losing a couple bolts holding on my alloy axle carriers and my dogbone getting kinked when I hit a steel pole mid-flight. I'm now running 40 wt associated oil in all 4 shocks, yellow...

    Got myself a used savage flux.

    Some more running from this weekend. Only had 1 set of white springs, which I put on the rear and started with associated 50w oil in all 4 shocks. Busted the 2 front shock ends off within 5 minutes of each other during the first 20 minutes... took it home and refilled all 4 back with 40w, then...

    Got myself a used savage flux.

    Bash with the big bores, almost tagged a guy on a bike: Kind of soft, which jars the chassis when it bottoms out on landings. Also had one of my solder joints almost come loose on me. I ran my stampede for a pack, then went home to do a bit of wrenching on it and fix the solder joint on the...

    Got myself a used savage flux.

    The only stores I have are Menards and Lowes. Both of them carry only 1/16" thick angle stock. I can easily bend it with my hands, well pretty easily. I can grab the end and bend the angle pretty easily. Which is why I went with the angle iron. I couldn't bend it without whacking the concrete...

    Got myself a used savage flux.

    Made it 3 minutes into my second run... and destroyed the rear diff case. Seems a screw snuck it's way in there when I had it all apart last night cleaning/reassembling the diff. On the plus side, while I drove home from the disappointing run, I remembered that I had some old diffs in a...

    Got myself a used savage flux.

    After starting electric running 8 months ago with a brushless revo, I have really enjoyed it. So much so that I've converted my jato to electric and got a brushless 4x4 stampede. I've only run nitro once this year, but have run my electric rigs many many times. Still, after running my savage-x...
