    Possible to waterproof a Flux?

    Yeah splash proof is really all I'm concerned about so I can run in less than perfect conditions. I also have a 3D printer and am contemplating how to add some more shielding (and redesign the battery boxes) to further reduce build up in non-ideal locations.

    Possible to waterproof a Flux?

    This is the route I ended up going with. Forgot the original servo died on me and had a Savox digital installed, but it wasn't a WP model. Being happy with the one I have I went with another Savox and for an unused take off ELH-6S that should be here today. Put some oil in the shocks for the...

    Possible to waterproof a Flux?

    Yeah the Blur you link to looks like mine. I believe the programmer I got for it was CastleLink.

    Possible to waterproof a Flux?

    Well... I say that and then notice a tiny sticker on the nose of the body that says Savage Flux HP. Yes I am apparently "one of those people" :rolleyes::D

    Possible to waterproof a Flux?

    A very dirty one:ROFLMAO: I don't see anything on it that identifies it and I don't know where my manuals are off the top of my head. I see "Blur" on one side and "Flux HP" on another (I'm vaguely sure that I have the basic Savage Flux and not the HP variant though...). The truck is 6 or so...

    Possible to waterproof a Flux?

    Cracked out my Flux after a few years of idleness. We got some snow yesterday and my oldest had a blast running his Traxxas Stampede 4x4 through the snow. It was deep enough that (especially with a bad front shock) that it had some trouble and I was wishing I could bring the Savage out for us to...

    Detuning

    Something along those lines did occur to me, but it needs to still allow me to exercise the full fun abilities when I play with it ;) So it would need to be easily attachable and removable, but not so easily that it falls off accidentally (not worried about him taking such a thing off if I tell...

    Detuning

    Ah. Didn't know this was an option! That might be the cheapest/easiest solution. Thanks.

    Detuning

    Yeah it's the one that came with it, the TF-20U (https://www.hpiracing.com/en/part/104100?show_disc=true). There is a D/R adjuster on it, though I'm not sure if that is what you are talking about as it just adjusts the forward/reverse balance so it can "idle".

    Detuning

    It's almost 4 years to the day since I picked up my Savage and I have an odd question. Can I slow it down? A lot. Since he was 2 my son has enjoyed sitting in my lap and working the steering while I manage the throttle. I just pulled it out for the first time this year and we found that at 6...

    Savage Flux, no go

    Worked perfectly. You made my 3yr old's afternoon. Thanks

    Savage Flux, no go

    I haven't played with my flux in awhile (6 months?) and found it not working the other week when I went to let my nephew play with it. I made sure it was charged up first and its startup cycle seems normal. The steering is working so I know the radio is (mostly?) working, but it does not respond...

    New guy + question

    All thanks to you guys. The prompting is appreciated. Now to figure out how I can merge my love of SparkFun.com with the fun that is the Savage :D

    New guy + question

    Got distracted by working on the real cars and a broken toe, but finally tore into it today. What I found is that what prevented it from fittingly correctly when I played with it last time was some tabs on the underside of the fore/aft mounts. A hobby clipper and file took care of those and...

    New guy + question

    Yeah I understood. I'll get a picture of the mounts on the underside that I'm talking about. I'll also take another look. I'll take a look at the manual about the mounting of the old battery box (the new box has an insert that was included) to see if it has the same under mounts or not. I...

    New guy + question

    Not without drilling new holes in the box, but they'd be so close to the existing holes that I'd most likely cut through into the existing holes and make the mounts useless. I think leaving them mounted as is and just removing the plastic locking system and replacing it with straps will take...

    New guy + question

    So here is a better shot of the box that shows the clamp mechanism. The box "fit" in reverse, but the screw holes on the forward and aft mount points don't line up. There are also mount points underneath (that double as part of the lock hinges) that will not mate up correctly to the chassis...

    New guy + question

    That's a good possibility. I'll take a look and see if I can get them to fit reversed and if so that would be a nice simple option. My other thought was that since it's not waterproof that I could trim a chunk out of the top (there is a bit of a pointless bulge on it) to allow it to lift more.

    New guy + question

    I did think about that, but that won't work because of the way it locks. It not clear in that pic, but towards the rear there is a horizontal "arm" with a piece of grass on it. That is one of the locking arms for the box. It's hinged from the bottom of the box and swing up to a locking tab on...

    Thanks for the welcome. Pic 1 is for X with both my old RC10 and the new Savage Flux. Pic 2 is for WoodiE showing the battery cover. That's as far as either open. If they would just open to the complete vertical then the batteries would pop in with no issue.
