    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?

    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....

    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?

    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...

    Flux! - What voltage setting for 4S?

    I've ran my Flux a handful of times now just for basic trimming and fairly easy straight runs and haven't got down to LVC yet. I'm having a brain fart moment right now, but I remember when I first plugged the BLUR into my laptop it stated that auto LiPo was on and set to 6.0v. Should it...

    It Lives!!!......

    First impressions..... WOW! After a tentative setup I ventured out just for a little warm up. The amount of torque is shocking! I've got 40% punch and it's still wheeling everywhere. It's brilliant! I couldn't get higher than maybe 2/3 throttle before I ran out a road/control - didn't want to...

    LVC on Flux - Set for damage as standard?

    Been scouring the net for info - feeling at little brain fried. Came across this from the MaxAmps site and it has me a little worried for tomorrow: 'Warning: The Savage Flux ESC has a soft LiPo cutoff as the factory default setting. This means that it won’t cut the power to your system...

    Just pushed the button on a HPI FLUX!

    It just had to happen... Hi all! Couldn't not resist any longer - I was 99% there at ordering a 5T to go with the 5B I already have but the more I looked at it - the FLUX just looked amazing. Bought an E-revo last year hoping to go with a MMM combo but sold it and went 5B - this has...
