    UH-OH! --> New Batteries, Are They Okay?

    Thanks everyone! Everything on my Savage Flux is 'bone stock' I am thinking about putting the Savage on the bench until I get the CC link - with that I'm assuming I can program in a "user defined" cutoff voltage? If so, I would think 6.5V would be a "safe" place to cut off? Also - yes, I...

    UH-OH! --> New Batteries, Are They Okay?

    First of all - thanks everyone for your input. The digital voltmeter indicates one pack is at 6.15 and the other is at 6.2 So, based on these numbers, I would guess the ESC is shutting down at 6V - does this seem correct? And, the packs are now "almost flat" - the small bulge has . . ...

    UH-OH! --> New Batteries, Are They Okay?

    Thanks everyone. Yes, they are SMC's . . . rated at 28C - I'm surprised. The expansion is minor, it's not "extreme bulging" but the packs are noticeably "not exactly flat". When I got them I believe they were pretty "square" and had flat sides. Maybe this will be a "one time stretch" - after...

    UH-OH! --> New Batteries, Are They Okay?

    Hey, I just got back from one of the most absolute, best ever bash sessions I've ever had - thanks HPI!!! I just finished running two 2 cell 6000 mAh 28C packs in my Savage Flux HP. Before running them, they each measured ~7.7V and I balance charged them at 2.5 amps, then tossed them in...

    New Body - New Energy Containers

    Just picked up the ProLine F250 body - I have a natural knack for horrible paint jobs - will post photos Wednesday Also received two SMC 7.4V 6000mAh 28C battery packs (w/Deans connectors preinstalled) My OEM Savage body is . . . beat to bad word . . . so . . . I needed another one. Based...

    First Mechanical Failure - Incredilby Minor

    :beforeme: to the Savage Flux!!! I just returned from the BMX track!!! I was doing the large doubles - maybe landing "good" 1 out of 3 . . . I was doing everything I could to damage this truck except for maybe doing this: :machinegunner: After about 30 minutes of bashing, getting LOTS of...

    First Real Bashing - AMAZING!!!

    I was making videos today - bashing, having the time of my life when . . . my Savage killed my camera . . . oh well . . . I bought it used and got my money's worth out of it years ago, so, no big deal. I'll edit the pre-camera-crash videos and post later tonight or tomorrow. Still loving...

    Nitro Savage?

    Well, I do prefer to build. I have been wondering - is there a class for racing these machines? Uh oh . . . I feel another addiction coming on . . .

    Nitro Savage?

    OK, I will get an XL but I will probably have to wait until August - home repairs and other stuff are getting in my way. :(

    Tcs 1/5 flux conversion......you can"t tell what it is!!!!

    I have a gas engine on my Baja. IMO, today all electric versions of 1/5 scale vehicles I've researched are not feasible because of either reliability, performance, &/or cost. Even the Savage Flux is on the high end of "value for performance" factor because when you think about adding two...

    First Real Bashing - AMAZING!!!

    I am experiencing SWS (Savage Withdrawal Syndrome) because I have a project that I'm working on through 3:00 am Tuesday. I am allowed six hours of sleep between now and 3:00 am Tuesday morning and there is NO WAY I can stop for an hour and go out and play with . . . er, I mean, continue testing...

    First Real Bashing - AMAZING!!!

    There's just nothing like kicking up lots of dirt! I haven't done that in a long time - it's incredibly fun. The Savage was remarkably "clean" after bashing in the dirt for more than thirty minutes today - big difference between dry and wet. While bashing today I thought often about how nice...

    First Real Bashing - AMAZING!!!

    At the rate I'm going, my body won't be lasting much longer. Time for a Pro-Line body, I reckon.

    First Real Bashing - AMAZING!!!

    I just returned from my 2nd "real bash" and it was just as good - better than, the first trip. I went to the same spot and it was -D-R-Y- and the dust was flyin everywhere. The Savage was jumping, rolling, sliding, ripping up the dirt like a chansaw on crack. It was just awesome, really...
