Strange cos my brand new savage flux hp won't backflip on 4s - mind you I have not tried on asphalt. Just dirt tracks and grass.

What are you running on 4s or 6s?

I think I will take a punt at this - looks great vfm. Like others posts stated - will buy a bunch of spares up front and job done.

Agreed. Just broke my rear this weekend.

Total bollocks - was going for a run in my flux today and noticed the tires the wrong way round. Got torque wrench out to remove wheel and change over and stripped the nut as it did not budge! Ended up with a round nut and unable to get it off! Removed the upright with some fiddling and managed to get the wheel off - can't budge that nut at all. What a nightmare. Just added up replacement parts for that little cock up -

Thanks a lot!

Hi all, Bashing around today with my rustler vxl on 3s. Managed to rip apart a rear drive shaft. I want a replacement that is much stronger - any suggestions? Cheers

If you go down TT route, just consider the parts availability situation - it was one of the reasons I ended up with the Savage. I thought that the MT4 was not 6s ready out the box? I thought TT state max 5s?

I recently got a savage flux too. It is built like a tank and is bloody hilarious fun to drive. Really recommended. I am on 4s at moment and that is bonkers. Heaven knows how mental 6s is but I will find out soon when I acquire 2 3s turnigy nano techs.

Nice one - thanks for your prompt response!

Hi fellow Savages, I got my new car today and have been blasting around on 4s which is quite enough for me for the time being. Anyway - I noticed that when I am stationary on either Tarmac or grass and turn left or right, the movement of the wheels is very small indeed. When I am moving, however, the steering seems fine and the wheels turn by the amount I would expect. Is the servo vastly underpowered on this vehicle or is this just normal operation or have I a dud servo? Cheers

Cheers rctech - that was what I was hoping would be the case. That was what I have done with the rustler - just upgraded as I broke it

Hi guys, I purchased myself a new savage flux today with a couple of 2s lipos. I am wondering what i need to do in the way of any straightforward (no brainier) mods just to allow some moderate jumping and general bashing if anything. I know the world of this truck is massive and there so many things that can be done but for a newbie to the truck, what would you suggest is paramount or am I good to go straight up? Thanks a lot,

Pleased I bought those RPM parts yesterday. Out bashing today and broke a front caster block and A arm already! It gets very hot running 3s on grass too.

Okay, thanks guys. Think I will give the badlands a try. Cheers
