Old news on the body as I've had it for like 4 years, but the Flux under it is new. LOL.

How do you like the Xl tires on teh flux? I love those tires. Most of my trucks are outfitted with them. Just wondered how they worked on the brushless setup.

twomanytoys I use that motor that's in it now purely for set-up specs
I race with a Novva-rossi 528 XRP

"gotta love FLM?"
Not really....I have hairline cracks all around my TVP's where the center transmission bolts in....yeah I know they will replace or whatever.....but at the moment I have no replacement TVP's for substitute

WOW thats a new one to me. I have never heard about the flm plates cracking. Maybe get a set of xl plates? Nice truck though. It looks set up pretty well.

twomanytoys I have no clue
this is used as a racer so it doesn't get severely beat like some do
It actually looks like the cracks are from the center tranny trying to lift upwards from the acceleration of the motor
who knows? [&:]

black mamba-Are the mounting holes for the Flux the same for the X4.6? Is that autographed by one of the GraveDigger drivers?! [X(] I was at a monster jam recently and it was amazing! I felt like a little kid again with all the noise and excitement.

Yes they are. All the bodies that normally fit on a savage will fit the FLUX

Yes, the holes all line up. The mounts are the same and the spacing between the mounts is the same as the shorty Savages.........so if you have a nitro Savage body lying around, it will drop right onto the Flux.

I went to the Saturday night show and man, it was fun. I haven't been to one in a while, so it was nice to go again. My daughter and wife loved it. We were in the 112 section, 8th row, so we were nice and close. I got my Digger body autographed by Paul Cohen that night too, which was cool-that's the silver writing you see on the side of the body.

Nicely. They are like upping the pinion a tooth or two.

You should see how these things balloon up! [&:]

Got 8 stock shocks cheap from Ebay, so decided to make a set to lower my XL for onroad driving. I used fuelline, about 3,5cm ( 1,4 inches) The desert rat body looks alot better on the truck after lowering imo.

Hey everyone. I just thought I'd post some pics of my savage converted for winter use. We have had so much snow up here that it is almost undriveable, but it is still tons of fun. Enjoy
