Savage Flux HP backflips

[curious]

hi
the main reason I'm looking into a flux is cause it can do standing backflips. but also cause the nitro savages have won many awards and many people say it is extremely durable and 4 seventh graders that like to go fast that can be important.
but back to the point. standing backflips. is there a minimum of voltage and c rating and amps to do them.
how do u do them like just pull the throtle or is there a certain procedure?
thank you

5 or 6s LiPo, if you start doing standing backflips all the time your drivetrain is going to take a beating IMO 1 or 2 every now and then otherwise not worth it

It can still do them on 4s you just need to find grippy tires or surface (fresh tarmac works the best)

keep stock tires & watch these 2 vids https://www.hpisavageforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12581

Of course things are gonna break, wear out and need replaced. That is part of this hobby.

it will still break bud thats instant power .I'm not into :blpower: so i cant help ya 2 much ,but I'm sure others will chime in

oh yeah, parts will break.

any r/c model will break parts. flux on 6s will add tons of torque and speed so when you crash, your gonna have that velocity and weight of the truck .... POW!!!!!!!

this question is not easy to answer. the only parts ive broke on my flux so far is blowing out the crappy 10x16mm bearing on the old version diffs and the plastic mounts for the battery boxes. I plan to buy the alloy upgrades for the batt box mounts but theyre $70 + ship.

but, i run 5s not 6 and build the truck upgraded part by part. your damage is gonna come mostly from cartwheeling or a bad crash and the parts that will break are the parts that hit.

so hubs and arms?

Hub not so much but arms yes

I would buy parts as they break. it saves money.

RCnut, he's not likely to respond. As he hasn't been online in 2 1/2 years........
