Guess who's going BL | "THE KiDD's" Savy Flux Build

[xll-SavageX-llx]

The time has come to build me a flux :)
I never thought i would go BL but after getting some flux tvps from TripleSix, that got me going on the flux build.

and after that it started with a simple ebay order to make it a roller.

Ok so that's it for now.
I'm waiting on a flux screw kit (all the stock screws) mainly for the bumpers, skid plates stuff like that. The MMM Combo will be here next week. In the pictures i didn't even mount the big bores :lmao: ill get around to it.

The PRC wont be any time soon, might be able to pick it up with the cash from my tax return :)

Ill update you guys when the MMM comes in.

cheers

What batteries and charger are you going to start with? Looking real good.

[frddyj]

ive been wanting to see the flm flux plates they look kick butt

now you can mount your esc inside the tvps behind the motor.

Thanks for the kind words Fred.
Yup they look pretty sweet, they might be replaced for PRC in a few months.
and yes once the funds come in ill be getting the extended motor mount, servo plate and ext tvps.

Looking good brandon .:rock1:

Thanks

[xll-SavageX-llx]

What does the esc mount do Frddyj?

The extended motor mount allows you to mount the esc behind the motor instead of the stock place above the motor on that little plastic perch.

[Aaro]

Brandon, would the prc motor plate work with the flm tvps?

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Brandon, would the prc motor plate work with the flm tvps?

Are they flux tvps or nitro ?

[Aaro]

Hypothetically speaking? Yours are the flux correct?

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Hypothetically speaking? Yours are the flux correct?

yes mine are the flmflux xl tvps.
If you have the nitro flm tvps you would want this one

PRC110 - http://www.platinumrcproducts.com/prc%20110.html

[frddyj]

Brandon, would the prc motor plate work with the flm tvps?

if the flm tvps are xl length (and i think they are) you can get the prc extended motor plate. its extra long and you can simply wire tie your esc to it behind the motor like bank did.

i have the ext prc's so i didnt have the length back there to fit the esc so i used a flm cross brace and bolted to it. came out kick butt & very well protected back there.

using the ext motor plate back there is about a zillion times easier.

Fred can you post a pic of your esc set up ?
I'm curious on how do you did it.

[Aaro]

The extended prc's were just not designed for the extended motor plate?

[xll-SavageX-llx]

The extended motor mount is for the flux (not sure if you knew that) but i does fit

PRC192 - http://platinumrcproducts.com/prc%20192.html
and
PRC205 - http://platinumrcproducts.com/prc%20205.html

[Aaro]

Yes Brandon I am speaking about flux upgrading.

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Yes Brandon I am speaking about flux upgrading.

oh ok.
yeah so the extended motor mount works with PRC192 and PRC205.

[Aaro]

Like yourself, at this point I can not afford all the prc so I thought that motor plate might work well with the flm xl tvps?

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Yeah if you have the extended flm flux tvps or the xl flux tvps the motor mount will work just fine.

[tallone09]

Looking good brandon keep up the good work .

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Looking good brandon keep up the good work .

Thanks tallone.

and i forgot to mention the truck only weighs 11.75 LB with the packs and without the motor and esc.

[TripleSix]

Looks good brandon. Keep us updated once you get the esc and motor. Where are you gonna mount the esc?

[frddyj]

looking good the kidd. whats your plan time to complete?

the motor, esc & weight really jack up the weight. i was surprised on mine.
:iamfrddyj:

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Looks good brandon. Keep us updated once you get the esc and motor. Where are you gonna mount the esc?

Thanks Jeff.
The esc will be in the stock location for now. When the funds allow me i will pick up the prc ext motor plate to mount the esc behind the motor.

looking good the kidd. whats your plan time to complete?

the motor, esc & weight really jack up the weight. i was surprised on mine.
:iamfrddyj:

Thanks Fred.
When i started the build i said by spring, winter isn't even over and i have 90% of it done. Yea i'm saying around 13 LB by the end with motor and esc.

[texasavage]

Looking good Brandon!

Do you have any pics of the clearance on the shock and upper a arm?
Did you use the stock mounting on the tup of the shock? I can't really tell in the pics.

You must have a good pvc cutter, with the one I got from Home Depot I get a squarer cut with my hacksaw.

Keep it coming bud!

Thanks Texas, I'll bet a pic when I get out of bed lol.
Yeah the PVC cutter I got was $25 reg $60 there like scissors really sharp blade on it I cut my self a few times just by touching the blad. And yes I used stock mounting on the top.

[fluxinator]

Brandon why did you mount the shocks outside of the groove ?

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Brandon why did you mount the shocks outside of the groove ?

Because it was rubbing to much on the upper arm.

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Ok so the guy with the MMM called me today and said he couldn't make it out because of the weather, it wasn't even that bad but i guess what ever floats his boat. So it may be next week end for the MMM.

[TripleSix]

I personally like the rulux better. I just got a set myself with badlands. Did you mount the bead on the inner ring or the outer? Kinda looks like the outer ring since the sidewall has the buldge. I mounted them to the inner ring and glued them and glued the to the outer ring also. The sidewall looks much better, and being glued twice, should never come off.

[xll-SavageX-llx]

There is a inner ring and outer ring ?
I guess mine are mounted on the outer ring.

I like the rulux better too.
For some reason the badlands look to small with the dish wheels on the XL tvps and with the rulux wheels they look decent.

Can you snap a pic of yours ?

[TripleSix]

http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b404/TripleSix06/IMAG0075.jpg

[TripleSix]

http://i1040.photobucket.com/albums/b404/TripleSix06/IMAG0074.jpg

[xll-SavageX-llx]

wow they look like there mounted on normal wheels haha.
Ill dye my wheels and mess around with them.

I also noticed the badlands stretched from being on the rulux wheels, i took the rulux wheel off and put on the dish and it slid right on with about 1/8" of play between the dish and the tire.

[TripleSix]

The bead on yours is sitting inbetween the lip and the inner ring. If you move the bead to the inner ring and glue it, the sidewall will still be tight on the lip and you can just run another bead of glue. It just gets rid of the buldge and looks a little better imo. I like this combo either way.

[TripleSix]

Yup, the rulux wheel are a little bit bigger. They are the same size as proline lpr. Set up like this reduces the sidewall for less side wall roll.

[xll-SavageX-llx]

ok cool, learn something new every day.
I was going to sell the rulux wheels and go with the dish but now after seeing yours and understanding the wheel more ill keep them. Get some ritz dye tomorrow after work and ye the black.

[TripleSix]

I also have a set of dirtbonz on the rulux 1/2 ups. Those didnt matter where I glued the bead since they are much wider. They fit and look pretty good too.

[xll-SavageX-llx]

So just to make sure i understand this.
I put the bead along the "red" line correct ?

http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss130/RiiFFY69/Savage%20Flux%20Build/IMG_3819-1.jpg

I just saw something really wrong with that photo, and i didn't even mean to do it. I wont say anything you guys have to fend for your self =P

[fluxinator]

IMHO I love the dish rims. I think they give the truck the racer look.

Yup. Thats how I have mine.

Thanks for the pics! Putting the shocks on the outer lip sure makes a big difference (front compared to back).

I like the Rulux's rockout

Yeah for some reason the springs rub on the upper arms more on the front then the back. Ill be dying the rulux black when i get the ritz dye so they should look killer.

Yes I noticed that as well.

Those are going to look great! I bought some badlands on ebay a while back and they were mounted on yellow dishes. I wish they weren't glued yet but the price was right, or else I would have dyed them too.

Great thread Brandon! I always like how you attach lots of pics rockout

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Pics are worth 1000 words, saves me all the typing :)
Bake your badlands hahah
Safe way of breaking the CA bead and you will be able to dye the wheels.

[redneck]

looks good man but we got to do some bashing

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Ok Jeff i found some time to mount 1 tire on the outer ring and 1 on the inside ring.

• One on the left is outer ring one on the right is inner ring

[TripleSix]

I personally think they look much better on the inside ring. But its your call. Thats why I suggested to look at it both ways so you can decide for yourself.

[xll-SavageX-llx]

IMO i like the inner better.
Gives it more of a LPR tire look.
Ill grab some ritz dye and dye them black, and see what they look like after that.

[JoeGuam]

The inner bead mounts will help in turning and accelarations out of corners. The outer bead will help on straights and normal straight driving.

Thanks for the info Joe.

Just wondering if i should tape them ?

[JoeGuam]

I would just buy good foam IE OFNA MT foams. Trouble is associated with taping.

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Ok.
I have the proline molded foams in there that came with the badlands.

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Sorry for leaving you guys hanging. Just playing the waiting game. Buddy with the MMM combo should of been here last week end but never showed up because of the weather (snow), he mean't to come on Wednesday but he thought i lived in a Different town so he didn't want to travel 45mins out of his way to come back so he should and better be here tomorrow. Also going to pick up a 40w soldering iron and get these deans on my packs and since it will be my first time soldering it might not work out so good :lmao:

[J1A1H]

i would definitely tape the badlands... i made the mistake of not. And it made driving in a straight line a little difficult with these brushless systems...

I have heard good things about mounting on the inner bead... i may give it a go next time too...

But gorilla tape is the best tape i have come across so far and with a quick alcohol rub down, the tape will NOT come off!

loving the build!

The badlands aren't glued yet so i can still tape them.
All i can do it try, if i tape them i can always use the backing method and remove the tires and take the tape off.

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Ok well the MMM is in and my other parts from ebay.
Now I need the TRX ESC mount since i located the ESC in the rear by hind the motor. Enough reading picture time.

I'm thinking of taking a trip to the LHS and spending the $4 on the TRX esc mount and get a few runs in. Then place my tower hobbies order and do buddy shipping. rather pay $10 ($5 & $5) then $25 straight to me.
More to come soon........

Ok that's it for now, my friend came over and borrowed my soldering station so i can't get the other stuff soldered up. It's ok we got about 20cm of snow Wednesday so i'm in no rush. Running video should be up soon maybe middle of April. Still need to decide on a body and a pint theme :)
