I'm going to make me a Flux

[whipnet]

So Frddy mentioned the other day having almost a whole truck in spare/stock parts and I realized that I do too, so I am going to build a Savage and convert it to a Flux or a Castle Creations setup.

I have a couple of tvp's to choose from, but I will probably use the XL ones.

I'll start this soon with pics and update as I go along.

Any conversion ideas or tips are more than welcome. I know some of you guys have converted already. Would love to hear what you used.

Thanks

Awesome buddy, I cant wait to see this thing. You will most deff want to go with the XL chassis. Best to use the XL Dog Bone's and Cups, Not sure if you want to use the extended out drives though. Also, either go the Hardened machined diffs or straight to the CEN diffs.

If you want some ideas on doing this you might check out E-Savage.com, they have some pretty cool builds going on over there with guys building their own version of the FLUX. Here's one thread...

Man I wish. I've been a little busy. Still getting the list of parts I will need.

I'll keep this thread updated with everything I use and how it comes together. Thanks for checking.
