    What type of diff fluid/oil for your FLUX?

    Am in the middle of rebuilding my son's Flux differentials and waiting for the parts (gaskets, seals, bearings, bulkhead). An HPI customer service rep recommended 1000 wt diff fluid/oil, but most of my son's driving is NLRC monster truck type races and freestye, so I think I will go a little...

    how to open bevel screws on diff case

    Another option for those who don't have a torch is a soldering iron. A bevel screw wouldn't come out for me and stripped it. A soldering iron heats the metals nicely (a litle safer than a heat gun).

    Hyperion 615i duo - my next charger

    I bought that same power supply last summer and had to send it back because it stopped working. It was out of warranty so I paid the ebay price plus shipping it back to seller plus $35 to repair. That power supply is just a computer power supply with 12v banana plugs and a switch. I made...

    SMC's Take on the new hpi Savage FLUX HP

    Bryan, are you running the FLUX with 3s or 2s batteries? Please try to come to a NLMD (this Saturday 3/7) nor NLVA (next Saturday 3/14) with your FLUX. Sounds like a cool truck, especially if running with a pair of 40C C-Max LiPos. Steve G.

    What connection to use?

    My preference is for the Traxxas connectors over the deans for the following reasons: 1) better grip and easier to connect/disconnect (especially for kids hands) 2) easier to solder, because no shrink tube is needed, as with deans (the TRX soldered tab fits entirely in the connector body)...
