That handle is for a regular flux, the flux xl chassis is different from the original and this handle will not fit. Look for xl flux handle instead.
 
Hi. It is puzzling that Savage XL comes without a rollbar. You can adapt the HP roll bar that you have. To do this you must cut the side and bottom border rebounds (leave the top one) and drill one additional hole in each TVP (One of the TVP holes can be used for fixing both the roll bar and the ESC tray).
I also filled a bit the top of the TVP to remove the curvature so that the roll bar sits well on it.
Here are some pics (she needs some cleaning, I know):

I know it don't make any difference to whether it fits or not but haven't you got it on backwards. On a nitro savage whether it's an X or XL it fits the other way round, don't have a flux myself but do have an X and XL nitro powered models.
 
I placed and orientated the rollbar in the best direction to fit the middle of the Baja bug shell roof. This body has a rounded shape which makes the front part of the roof to be higher than the back part (see pic in my avatar). It works fine as it is.
