    Thanks guys. If I can ever get my brother to drive my savage so I can actually run the camera I'll make a ridiculous one.

    Is HPI ever coming back?

    I'm just wondering if anyone has the real deal low down on HPIs status. I talked to someone at A-main back in early January and I was told they would have parts to distribute by the end of January... Everything is still out of stock. I'm tired of feeling like I shouldn't bash my flux for fear of...

    6 more weeks.

    I'm less interested in the ground hog and more interested in the HPI hog and his shadow. Will it be another 6 months without parts? I'm a little leary of hanging it out with this beast since so many parts including the diff gears are almost non existent

    Savage Flux Upgrades

    Yeah 8s is going to ruin a savage drivetrain pretty quick.

    Crushing again with fresh paint!

    Well the $100 ebay basket case takes another bite out of my wallet. Transmission gears broke, locked up the trans and the magnet spun on the armature. So new motor and 3 gears in the trans plus new bearings Since I literally replaced every other drivetrain part on the truck besides the trans...

    New to the flux gang. Diff questions.

    I just rebuilt a flux hp ebay basket case and couldn't find machined or sintered 9/29s anywhere. I used the hot racing spiral cut diff gears. Holding up great to 4s on 3.8 trencher Xs and a locked slipper. Big wheelies and jumps all day. Hot racing #HSF299X

    Can’t decide on what 1/5 scale

    I'll have to say the dbxl-e ground clearance is pretty low too.. I would definitely jack the suspension all the way up if I was going to drive it off road much. It just got a set of road slicks and suspension stiffened up all the way

    The $100 basket case is officially back to life

    After about a months worth of slowly ordering parts and rebuilding she's finally finished. I'm interested to see how the Hot Racing spiral cut diff gears last... Does anyone have experience with these? Seems solid so far! Also does anyone have a recommendation for stiffer springs for this thing?

    Hi guys New to Savage and building a new savage

    Did you paint those shock springs? Seems hard to find springs in cool colors. If so what kind of paint did you use?

    Hi guys New to Savage and building a new savage

    That purple and green savage x is frikin awesome! Love the colors. I spray all my body's fluorescent colors, I love that look for a monster truck. Thanks for the info in the diffs, that's really cool that they drop in. Makes me feel better about the parts issue that hpi has. I've been kind of...

    Hi guys New to Savage and building a new savage

    Beautiful build. Love all the color. Reminds me of my old savage. I had all kinds of bright anodized aluminum and different colored silicone parts. Very nice. My question is... What's the story on the kyosho diffs? Are they a direct fit of do they require a mod or special parts? I just finished...

    Performance steering kit

    I guess I skimmed over the part where you said its the ball ends causing the slop.. that should be a pretty easy fix, I don't know if the stock upper arms will fit with those billet bearing carriers though. Looks like they're made to work with ball end rods.

    Performance steering kit

    Oh yea got it.. looks like nice stuff, but my experience with aluminum suspension parts is that with heavy bashing they always wear at the pivot points and end up sloppy. The holes that act as pivots get progressively ovalized and seem to lose material faster than plastic parts do. I love the...

    Performance steering kit

    I'm not sure what the upgrade is that your referring to.. but I was having a crazy amount of slop from all the ball joints and steering linkage on the $100 basket case I just rebuilt. Then I found a stripped stock servo in there to top it off. I ordered a new steering/servo saver setup with all...
