Savage Flux 2350

[Tungsten]

So I finally got a few runs in with the 2350. I must say this truck is awesome! It has so much power that it is hard to even control. If your on the throttle 75% and gun it, it will flip over. Back flips over jumps are pretty much on demand.

The only problem I did have was with the LiPo packs that I bought. They are Blue LiPo 25c 2s 4000mah. The first charge went fine, cells were balanced almost perfectly, the second charge went just as well. But that's where my good luck ended. After my second run one of the packs swelled. I checked the other pack that was still good and both cells were at 3.2Volts. The puffed pack is useless and has no charge to it anymore.

I have no idea why the one pack was totally fine and the other died. I am guessing it was a defect from the factory. I e-mail hobbypartz.com and have yet to hear from them. I will up-date if they do resolve this.

My wife and little buddy joined me. He slept through the whole thing....

I have a 2350 too it is awsome I have it set 75% throttle and it still` stands up on it's tail gate. But when I first got it, first run I just tap the throtle and it did a backflip Truck is tough as nails!!!hpisfgreen

I would recommend a LiPo over 35C and maybe around 5000mah ..
2s ~>(4s) or 3s ~>(6s) if your crazy =D

Good news! hobbypartz.com is going to send me a new pack. I just had to send them a pic of the puffed pack. Can't beat that.

You should love the HP, if you go with 3s packs it's going to be insane.

I got my USB programmer in the mail the other day. I am going to try and find some time tomorrow and play around with it.

It's amazing how much time a newborn takes up....a blink of the eye and the day is over.

I bought the same packs. Ill have to watch them now.
The programmer is great. The stock break setting was too soft. It took 2 minutes with the programmer to get everything set the way I wanted it. The only downside is you cant change it in the field unless you bring the laptop with you.
Congrats with the baby.. And just wait till hes walking. Opens up a whole new can of challenges..
