YOUR Flux Build Costs.

[frddyj]

Alot (and i mean alot) of peeps are interested in brushless.

I've had more inquiries on "how much" i spent on my flux than any other question.

Please post a pic of your flux and a breakdown of cost (even if you bought a stock flux and kept it bone stock). Let's compare the cost of buying and upgrading a flux to your liking versus a ground-up build.

Please put 3 pics Max

How much is it after your shocks, LiPo's charger, and power supply. That total makes me sad. It is cheeper than my nitro.

 

[Travis Mowery]

Frddy does it count for me since i really didnt buy anything? The mag did:cheers:

 

[Pope]

Only if you give it to me than buy it back.

yeah Travis, sure does buddie. Thread is all about what it cost to get the truck to look/drive/act, etc like you wanted it.

Trying to give peeps that ask "is it cheaper to build or buy" some insight.

answer to this question is always gonna be different for each person.

[dptyjohnson]

ordering my new flux soon as tax check clears the bank!!! L.H.S charging $609+ tax, that bout right?hopefully that will be monday or tuesday, thank you uncle sam! btw....D8 shocks bolt up with out any problems? looks like they do in the pics would D8T be better for a touch more travel?

 

[Bankrupter]

[Bankrupter]

Play nice Bank.

That was not nice ? lol ... I'm just saying let us run them b4 you blow 50 bucks on a part that we don't know has bash quality on a savage yet. So far you, fred and I all have them. None of us have run them. People are buying this stuff up looking at pics.

Lets face it they have 1 inch of travel. Yes I have them,!! but I don't think they are for a bash truck. Fred just told me to buy a set so I did. They look and feel sweet! All the things Fred has said and is 100% true. If people were smart they would wait a month for us to run them and give a real opinion on them. ATM they are sweet for shelfs and pics... but thats all any of us can tell you
