I'm in

I already got my present, a Savage Flux XS! If you don't have one and like to bash just BUY IT... it's a little flying 65mph plastic brick that's just this side of indestructible :)

... btw this is still running all stock components on the 1/24 losi brushless SCT, no mods, stock ESC, etc etc.... and it's supposed to be good up to 3s...

.... Is there a voltage 'cap' that the ESC could be shutting down because of? Is 8.2V ok but does it see 8.3 as a severely undercharged 3s and then cut off the ESC? Any thoughts?

I just picked up a 1/24 brushless and some extra LIPOs, 2S 250 and 300 mah... for some reason it stopped working when the lipos are installed. The steering works but no fwd/rvs. If I place the NiMH in it then both steering and fwd/rvs work. All the LIPOs are charged, the charger...

I'll be using just the stock body...

I'm getting set to paint a new erevo body and am looking for some neat, yet fairly simple, ideas. Please post up any pics or links you might have, thanks! Dave

thanks for the ideas!

I'm mainly a basher, not much racing and I'm wondering what you think are the best upgrades, best bang for the buck so to speak, for the Revo and ERevo brushless?

After posting this over a year ago I ordered EDS tools and I'll say they are great tools. Very minimal wear on the tips, even the ball ends are in great shape after countless hours of work. Plus their bits work great as well. I did break off one ball tip but that was my fault, don't pry with...

gimme! :)

I ended up going with EDS and I must say they've been extremely durable. I only broke one and that was due to misuse. The others are a-ok and I use ball tips too and they stand up to a lot of work.

That one has got some impressive specs... I have to admit some sticker shock on the $140 price tag hehe thanks!

I need to find a really good and strong steering setup, any opinions? Thanks! Dave

It does take a while... I think the reverse thing took a few weeks and my ESC took about 2 weeks to get replaced. But at least they stand behind their stuff :)

Thanks for the reply, I do have new exhaust gaskets, good pipes and everything is tight. Once I even went so far as to silicone seal most mating surfaces as I saw on a youtube video. No dice there either... Is there anything special/different on an HPI engine? I've used the same break in...

I'm running 2 4.6 and a 5.9 and all have high end fuel starvation symptoms and tuning seems to have no affect so I'm wondering if my fuel type isn't correct. What % fuel do folks run with these larger engines? It has great acceleration, pops easy wheelies, decent blue smoke (not a cloud...

I have the same question, I'm running 2 4.6 and a 5.9 and all have high end fuel starvation symptoms and tuning seems to have no affect so I'm wondering if my fuel type isn't correct. What % fuel do folks run with these larger engines? It has great acceleration, pops easy wheelies, decent...

I've ran my Flux HP through a couple sets of lipos and holy moley that thing is insanely powerful.:whhooo: Powerful enough to literally shred the inside of the rims! I put a set of my beadlockers on there and it tore the tires to shreds. Admittedly the rubber was a bit old. What's a good...
