.AJ. Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 hay guys has anyone converted the flux to 17mm hexes like the ones on the trophy 3.5?? They have 17mm hexs as standard mate And ive run Half offset proline rims and calibers on my savage and they worked well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 i think he means proper 17mm conversion with proper nuts not the terrible ones that are stock. Trophy ones dont work and the official 17mm conversions isnt SHD so you cant go to them unless you want to downgrade your diffs and dog bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulletflux 345 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 i dont think they are super heavy duty unless you down grade to normal dogbones and diffs and i wouldnt do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daymo Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 whats the best way to clean these beast's?? i was thinking about taking one side of the tvp off?? would that work?? aslo do you re grease the drive cups because i think they would be better off dry because all the dirt and crud just gets stuck in the grease and makes a nice grinding paste!!!

Remove a tvp, whip the motor plate out, this will keep the motor in place so saves meshing, whip the esc out and servo then dump it in the shower or under a hose-pipe/jetwash. Then spray with WD40/GT85 or a ptfe/teflon spray, and dry off then put back together. If there is one thing I can say it's get yourself a little power screw driver it cuts your time in your half....

daymo Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 i see alot of you swap the battery boxes arround so the open fully waht do you do about the standard catch as you cant get to it when they are swapped!! do you just use the straps arround the box??

ibo Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Just use velcro straps..Dont forget to trim the lids at the other end stops trapping the connectors..Trim the catch as well so it dose not click and lock..
