Hey guys, just picked up a Flux, so far so good...the thing is a tank.... fast...I've run both 4s and 6s and it's sweet....the only thing that sucks is the battery boxes....

i think somethin is wrong with your flux cuz the tires keep coming off the ground, better return it to the LHS.

j/k chad, awesome flux, welcome to hpisf. 'wheels up' frddyj

You're the 2nd person out of 2 that I have seen that have complained about the battery boxes. Let HPI know.

I want one of these too!!

Thanks guys. I just went out to a construction area to do some bashing, was there for about 3 minutes and yep, you guessed. A lipo got launched. So now I'm on way to Hobby Lobby to pick up some velcro straps. I can't believe this design made it out HPI's doors.

One other thing....what all do I need to use the Castle Link to program this? Is there a USB port under the sticker on the ESC, or do I need the adaptor that goes in the receiver? The LHS loaned me the disc, and I have a USB cable.

I had that part figured out. :lmao3: I just don't have the interface between the computer and the truck. I have it on order now though.
