That toss has flown. I need a replacement wing mount for my savage, emailed him 5 times over the last 6 months. I say ban him from this site and warn others buisness is closed.
Thanks Shaun. I took it for a pretty hard bash yesterday, it took it no worries. Time will tell I guess. I saved about 200g of top heavy weight with this mod.
Sorry, I messed up the spur/trans gear ratio calculations.
Uh say we use the stock spur to the 29t idler:
Differential Ratio: 3.2222222222222223
Transmission Ratio: 1.52
Spur Tooth Count: 44
Pinion Tooth Count: 16
Total Voltage: 22.20
Motor KV: 2200
Spur/Pinion Ratio: 2.75 : 1
Total...
Now what I'd really like to do is modify my Savage Flux centre gearbox to make it lower, lighter, and simplify it. I am working on using just 3 gears (a pinion, a spur and an idler gear) from the drivetrain to the motor. Is this possible?
Here I have my current gear setup:

Hit some kickers at the bmx track, with a few little bogan kids loving it. Stacked fiarly hard, and found a rear wheel quite loose.. assesed it to be stuffed bearings, drove it for a bit more, next jump I lost a front pin, top arm popped out. I put the biggest zip tie around the bumper, but it...
Braking ok, I'll try that.
I bought the packs with the higher C rating that they claimed, so I would still have plenty. Pity they don't put regulations on C ratings hey..
Ok thanks for the advice, I might just get some 6S packs for the silly stuff.
Yes I know that, I'm not expecting the top speed of the Medusa due to gearing. But I thought wheelie's above low speed would be in the range of the bigger, more torquey motor. 20/44 isn't really tall gearing.
Hey folks. I recently got a Tork 2200 motor for my Flux, because my 3100 Medusa was getting a bit hot. I am running it on 4S / 5S, with a 20t pinion, BP diffs, stock spur and Badland MT's. I've taken it for 5 runs with the new motor, and it just doesn't seem madly fast like I thought it would...
Give this man a prize! Haha, I was waiting for someone to spot that. I was hitting dirt jumps with the truck yesterday, over boosted, 15ft to flat.. next attempt was better, 10 ft to flat.. that happened. Fixed it this morning, and went for another sesh just now.
