RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
Good find T9. I would have bought the kit if it was available since without electronics its would be selling the best part of the truck with what looks like cool shocks. I had mine out for the first time since before christmas tonight and all is well. I have a new slipper and the HR center cups in it now.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
i used the shims in the parts bag for the front diff
|
RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
They started putting shims in the bag now?
|
RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
Shims came in my parts bag...I got my XS in September '11.
|
RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
Mine did, too, and it was pre-ordered so I assume its first batch.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
you know what i think is happening. i think when i put the 3 shims on the front diff it made it to where the bevel gear is touching the diff. gonna take out a shim and see what happends. the rear diff with the pre installed shim actually looks pretty good. i can push the bevel gear all the way in and it mesh's good with the diff.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
Ipersonally like the little truck. Ihave had some problems with it but Ithink it all in all could be chalked up to wear and tear. Imust be one of the lucky ones Igues Ihave had no problems with the esc

You've been following the thread for a while....It really seems to come down to complete luck in some cases and/or preventive actions in other cases... Drive cups, Antenna Wires, Steering Servos, ESCs, Motor's, DogBones, Loose Pinions, etc... If you are not willing to take the chance....or are ready to replace some of the known deficient parts....Then the XS is not the right choice for you. It comes down to a choice that you have to make... I chose to replace the steering servo, motor, gear down, and go through the entire truck before it ever had power to it...I have had my truck since September '11 on 2S and 3S...with no significant issues. No, I don't beat the crap out of my toys but, I do run them hard enough. |
