As some of you already know, I've been eyein the Savage XS Flux and planned on gettin one within the next few months. Well, the next few months came sooner than I thought. I found one on ebay with a no reserve auction listing. So, I kept my eye on it and watched the highest bid price. Waited til the last 45 sec and placed my bid. I won it for $225 shipped. Well, actually, what ever it cost me in gas to go pick it up. The guy who was sellin it lived about 20 miles from my house. I went and picked it up and the guy was real cool and even hooked up a batt to show me that everything turned on and worked. The servo has already been upgraded to a waterproof Traxxas 2056 servo and the turnbuckles have already been upgraded. Most of the tips I've seen online is that people were usin the Traxxas 2443 turnbuckles from the 1/16 Revo, I believe. The reason for the turnbuckle upgrade is that the stock uses a ball stud & cup design and the slightest bump pops them off and they're a pain to get back on. The Traxxas turnbuckles are a captured design like the big brother. Next upgrade is swappin out the ESC for a Castle Mamba Max Pro, which I may pull off the Blitz and put the stock XS ESC in the blitz. Just waitin for an email back from Novak. Now, all I have to do is wait til I get paid next week and hopefully be able to get some batts for it.
Enjoy!!! I'm sure I will once I'm able to run it. I'll post what upgrades I do as I'm able to do them.
