So far from what I have learned
Flm - no reply yet on the flux XL hd Tvp's
Tcs - no reply yet on the XL 5mm tvp ( emailed 5 times )
1offRC - 5mm same length as XL ( says on the site )
Hpi conversion - same length but only 3mm
Stock XL Tvp's are 14 5/8" long I have the nitro XL
I've been...
Size
I just got a email from flm - they are not as long . I've been researching all Tvp's for the nitro XL and flux XL tvp
Nitro same size - irc - ( not) I have them 1 5/8" shorter on the 6 + 1
And I'm not bashing IRC I think these Tvp's are AWESOME . I have 2 sets...
What I've gathered so far is
Esc - liquid tape or corrosion x ( voids warranty )
Shower caps - chassis
Plasti-dip servo's
What about the radio box ? Are you guys sealing it somehow ?
What about outerwear covers ?
I'm looking at MaxAmps XL9000 7.4v
Hyperion charger and power source
Castle programmer
Been online all day LOL
I also read that they're are a lot of other battery options but I like the warranty and run max amp receiver packs in all my nitros
Does Anybody know if the Tcs xl Tvp's are the exact same size as the XL tvp ? Or if any of the after market Tvp's are the exact same size ?

I see Hpi makes a xl flux tvp but I'd like something Beecher when I get my flux.
Cool , Thanx 88gtanotchback
I've been reading on batteries as well 4s and 6s , from what I've read 4s is easier on the esc and motor. I'd like to be in the 45 - 50mph range. Any gearing recommendations ?
Been reading up on the flux , taxes coming soon (:
Does the flux come with bulletproof diffs ?
( It just says super HD on the tower site )
What weight oil is in the big bore shocks ?
What weight oil for a Tcs XL ?
( Big jumps and bashing )
Thanx for any info
25% trinity monster I'm sure you'll get a 100 answers . I think byrons is awesome but Hpi engines leak . Just my opinion . Thats what we run here .... Byrons or trinity 25 - 30 %
I've heard about the overkill on the shocks and 7950 steering servo , but I overkill everything (; and I figure that's what monster trucks are all about lol I'm not a big fan of the single shock look
I'll be gluing tires for my all black t-Maxx build , and removing both hi-tec7955 servos from my black Revo build . Gonna throw the waterproofs in there and use the 7955's for my street savage build , and a secret project I got coming up (;
I mounted the fuel tank properly today , I had to shave some plastic off of the mounts . I used a utility knife and just cut down on the mount with a chopping method , this way it did not ruin the threaded hole .
For the inside mount I cut a sliver off , leaving the tiny post still on that fits...
Found some screws I saved from some shelves I built, using them for the dusk big bore shocks . I had to drill out the hole in the shock tower , and a bigger hole in the shock screw whole thing-a-ma-jig . LOL
