I did notice that actually and tried to fix it its quite hard to push the pin back in place but thanks for pointing it out. Also Gaz, are you sure these Axels are the right size? Are they bigger as I'm looking for bigger as i don't want to have this problem again!! Thanks. https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/345268/
Both these axles will work Paul, they are both the same size and are the largest type for the savage, the ones without the thread are just the latest type and are designed purely to be used with 17mm wheel hex adaptors.This is the one i use that my car came with: https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/152...RSx6H_YD2w5QkSSXB-HiDCC49rYtKm3caAmQ9EALw_wcB
Hey Jam do you have a link or part number so I know what I'm looking for please?I say putting limiters under the shock piston is going to be your best fix, that damage comes from the bone popping out of the cup when you are jumping and stunting, you can make or buy limiters in different length to get just right so you don't lose a bunch of suspension travel
So you think I should go with these ones?Paul go onto HPI website and download the Manual and exploded view diagram for the Flux XL. the download is free. All the pictures and part numbers are there.

Thanks, if anything they extend too much is that what your on about? Under compression they are ok but thanks for the advice my friendI say putting limiters under the shock piston is going to be your best fix, that damage comes from the bone popping out of the cup when you are jumping and stunting, you can make or buy limiters in different length to get just right so you don't lose a bunch of suspension travel
It's looking good If you want to ride some jumps with it, one thing i really recommend is making a holder to support the back of the motor ... those 2200KV motors weight around 400g, and the only thing holding them in place are two m4 screws, a jump above your hip level is enough to make the chassis bottoming out and slap the floor, and when this happens the center diff mount and those screws go through a ton of forces and stress. 8x8mm aluminum bar it's what i'm using for that
Something like this:

I like the new V2 battery boxes, they look stronger than the old ones.
One thing you can do to avoid bending shock shafts so often is putting a spacer inside the shock, i have 15mm spacers inside mines, this will lower the car and make it handle a lot better.

The shock towers will start to bend with the time and even more with jumps, the tower to tower braces are a good help for that and also a good way to support the bodyshell when the truck rols over.
