creamsodauk Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 honestly 5b shocks are more looks then use unless u seriously intend to abuse this savage with air time, they will be too stiff even with light oil to allow the truck to lean and absorb bumps. I reckon theyl just make it worse to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creamsodauk Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 ah i shall keep an eye on this, their are many things i want too do to the flux now the revo has gone, i want a nive reliable fun truck! guns if you get a min and can remember let me know what gears in the gearbox you changed and what ones i should still do. I will eventually get the time too pull out the gearbox and update the case for the newer one etc. Also you linked too some shells for a sav i keep hearing, my shells battered and id like a few cheapish ones to bash with as the flux just eats them! i also want a stiffer servo saver spring as my steering can be a little sloppy, i can do fun but i mean this can weave one way then the over lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 I honestly cant remember what gears I used, I know there was the Flux Idler, and I THINK the HD 18-23 gear, That would leave the titanium Layshaft and one other gear which im not sure you can replace. The centre Transmission case isnt cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 il try and nab one off usa ebay from a breakers! you will have to pay full whack for them as they are hop ups not stock parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) you will have to pay full whack for them as they are hop ups not stock parts He means the centre case. Basically on the old savage, it was a 2 piece case, meaning to get to the gears, you had to remove the whole centre transmission from the TVP's a massive job. On the Flux and X, you have a 3 piece centre box, which you can take the top off to check your gears. He wants this as I converted an old savage.
