    Just pushed the button on a HPI FLUX!

    Back from the dead - Flux No 2! Well, second time around and the Flux is still sitting in it's box unopened - weird, the anticipation is exactly like number one! Sold up the Flux around 9 months ago and picked up a 5t, but problems with spaces to run had me looking at BL again and their...

    How the HECK do you keep the body looking good?

    Yikes! Been gone for a while working on my new/used 5t. Back on the Flux now though. Well, I have had a wake up call - a new lid on a 5t costs around £150! Don't think I'll moan again at having to buy a new Flux body. Gonna look at the Prolines - would be great if they did a stocker on 0.60...

    How the HECK do you keep the body looking good?

    Rofl! - thats a great response Pope. I'll def work on that Bankrupter. I came across a Hardshell Fibreglass Flux Bodyshell here on Ebay which looks like serious business, but it's in white! Damn shame. It's got me thinking - wonder if their is anyway I can get a stock Flux body and re enforce...

    How the HECK do you keep the body looking good?

    Man o man, It looks like it's easily gonna be a body a month - lol. Just don't know how to keep it looking fresh - I know it's inevitable that a body gets wrecked but I'm just chewing em up doing very light bashing and speed runs. How do you keep yours looking good? I think the only way is one...

    Is 6S a natural progression?

    Hey all. I finally got enough space to run my Flux at full whack and it felt damn good! My SMC's are absolutely brilliant but I need another set of packs so I can get a constant charge / run. It's crunch time as I'm torn between 4S or going balls out on 6S. Love the idea of speed but not of...

    Flux and DX3s - any advice?

    Well, looks like all that fretting was overkill. Installation was faultless and the DX3S feels superb- I was letting rip today without any glitches and worry. Priceless. Cheers.

    Flux and DX3s - any advice?

    Thanks guys - got the receiver sorted. Just need to know about the EPAon throttle, something about letting the mmm 'see' the whole range - just not sure whether to leave the travel at 100% on throttle or put it to 125% ? I actually though it would only be relevant to gas/nitro throttle servo...

    Flux and DX3s - any advice?

    Hi all - gonna sound totally dim now but I've just got a DX3s and I'm about to install the receiver but I don't know which way to plug the Flux/mmm into it- no signs for pos/neg on the receiver body so don't know which way to connect the pins. If I go with the same orientation as the stock Rx...

    First run pics....

    Cheers. I'm using SMC's 6000 (2x2S) - great packs. Really impressed so gonna get another pair of the same. Like the idea of 6S but these packs are a handful already!

    New Flux - Immediate shimming required?

    Cheers 88. Checked the shimming and it's good - no lateral play at all - very surprised. Didn't switch to fluid yet as I'm waiting on the gaskets. Brilliant on how easy it is to remove the diffs - great design. I used to think the 5B diff was pretty easy to get to but this is cake.

    First run pics....

    Just a few pics of my Flux on the flat/road. First proper run with no tweaking and tuning. Seriously good fun - kinda getting closer to maintaining control of the power. I'm STILL amazed at the torque and speed - brilliant! Need to get onto dirt though, the black stuff's eating up...

    New Flux - Immediate shimming required?

    Is it something I should do immediately? I read a post while researching the Flux about the diffs being shimmed from the factory, is this the case? Enjoy wrenching but don't want to mess anything up. I'm going to follow Distraits's thread and also change the diffs from grease to 30K diff...

    Everybody / anybody still using Flux Tx?

    You both make crystal clear sense-can't believe I was sitting on the fence with this one. Just ordered a DX3S, should be here Wed; think my Flux is gonna stay parked till then. Thanks For the info guys.

    Everybody / anybody still using Flux Tx?

    Hi all - Just wondering who's using stock Tx and if they're having any problems with it. Had some strange glitching today with a full lock of brake at 4/5th's power - not good. Still wondering whether to spend coin on a DX3S. Isn't the supplied 27Mhz frequency the same as all the toy rc out...

    where is the cheapest place to buy savage flux?

    And just make that price you got even better - I paid the equivalent of $930 last week for mine over here in the UK. When it comes to RC, I wish I lived in the US! LOL.

    The Flux has landed

    Looking good! Congrats. Just ordered the same LiPo's while I wait for my US retailer to get some more SMC's. Hope they do the business.

    Flux! - What voltage setting for 4S?

    Yup, definitely going with the higher cut off - Just puts me a little more at ease. I totally destroyed my first 6S heli LiPo a year ago - I was setting up servos and before I knew it 5 cells were at 2.0v and one was at 0.00v! (Now recovered with a Cellpro 10 LiPo charger by the Heli's new...

    Flux! - What voltage setting for 4S?

    Will do Baddasz - thanks, an important lesson learnt. WTFLUX - thanks for that (Your Flux looks absolutely superb by the way!). Glad I've found a place where I can get answers - totally appreciate it. I'm just so impressed and excited about the FLUX, feel like I wanna learn everything and...

    Flux! - What voltage setting for 4S?

    Thanks For all the input - gonna try it right now. Don't mean to sound so dim with this but it was bugging the hell out of me.
