    Flux XS lid options

    Anyone know of any lids that fit well on the XS? Mine has seen better days, and I'm looking for something different... Mini Revo bodies have too short of a wheelbase, unfortunately :(

    My first REAL paint job...

    I know, not for my Savage, but the wheelbase did not work quite right on the Savage, and I already have a nice Savvy body. Nothing more than masking tape, Hemi Cuda body, and 3 paint colors: Racing Red, Outlaw Black, and Indy Silver (blower stack). Red was down first, then backed in...

    I have seen/heard commemts about using CorrosionX to waterproof the MMM, and how to tear down the Castle 2200 and replace the bearings with sealed ones to mimimize bearing rust and debris. Anyone ever do this? Any luck? I've been inspired by the muddin post to try to think this through...

    Quick pics - My Son's trans-forward Flux

    I didn't take as many pics as I should have, but oh well :) Here is the trans-forward conversion done on my son's Flux: Bone-stock Flux: Blown apart - We only reuse the front and rear bulks, trans, and electronics - the kit includes EVERYTHING else (well almost everything) After a...

    Interest in truggy suspension on a Savage?

    I took the rough measurements from a Savage lower control arm, and put them into CAD. The design is simple - just make an arm that is strong and light - and in CAD, make the end interchangeable. I have been playing with the different ends from truggy suspensions to see which would be best on a...

    MT2 to Short Course Conversion

    As a few of you know, I have been snapping up MT2's when I can get them for a cheap price, and converting them to brushless and have made a few interesting versions as well (brushless MT, a buggy version using the diffs from an RS4 3 Evo, etc). I recently picked up a kit from CKRC...

    Looking for some braking advice....

    I am working on a TCS 1/5 scale Flux conversion, and have a question... This thing is HEAVY, almost as heavy as my Baja - and I don't trust the brakes to be done just by the motor. I am working on a servo mount to use the red carbon brake set on the Flux transmission, but I am greedy, I want...

    How to use Hellfire Shocktowers on a Savage

    i saw a bunch of messages flying around on how to use the Hellfire shock towers on a Savage, and thought that was an awesome idea - so I decided to try it out :) Starting with a set of XL bulkheads, there is a section that needs to be removed to allow the flat Hellfire mount to sit flat...

    Battery cut off switch - other than the one with the ESC?

    OK, so I have been banging around with the Vorza a bit, and just thinking about the battery/esc fires I have seen. One of the things I keep seeing is the need for someone to basically put their hands into the fire to disconnect the battery, etc. What is the feasibility of putting a manual...

    Electric buggy racing against nitro buggies?

    I know there is a set of setup sheets for suspension, etc but I am curious how you can run electric competitively with nitro buggies. My LHS does not have an electric buggy class, and I am concerned about the process of swapping out batteries, etc. Some background: My LHS has a nice...

    Project Build - Hellfire Brushless Conversion

    Since I have a Hellfire roller sitting on the shelf, I decided to put it to use and convert it over to brushless. I am trying to get my son (Alex, who is 9) more into racing, and I need a platform he can learn on that won't make him (or me) too nuts when it comes to reliability, tuning, etc...

    New Vorza owner

    Just picked one up at the WF - and broke it right after :) Anyone have any suggestions, out of the box, for improvements, etc? I know aftermarket support is not really there yet, but I am looking to get this up and running at the local track. Thanks! Bob
