RE: THE Official HPI Savage Flux-HP Thread
Just an fyi, IceWindus has been trying to scam / get free parts from HPI for a while now. He's had several posts removed on SEVERAL forums because of this. RCTech is just one site getting sick of his consistent jabbering. He doesn't know anything of what he claims, and basically copy/pastes garbage that he reads or presents mass amounts of spam instead of helping people. Now he's taking advantage of HPI showing others how to do it, which is beyond absurd. The only time he posts on other sites it seems is when he wants to brag about his STOCK truck. Yah, those TVPS you bought aren't anything but STOCK.
And yes I'm a Savage owner, I've witnessed some of the mess he's posted, and witnessed it get deleted. HPISavageForum.com is another site he's been trying to spam, but it got quickly deleted by the owners.
Side Note: Man Freeze, you are getting shunned from every forum you are on doing this crap. You've basically put yourself in the classification of 'scammer'.
GOOD JOB

Agreed
Last I heard Fraud was still illegal in the USA?
Wiki definition of fraud is "fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain"
Sounds familiar?
Without knowing what you did and didn't say, I can't say if you acted in a fraudulant manner (nor would I as I am also familar with defamation
), however the way you bragged about it in numerous forums....
I'd be nervous if HPI consulted some lawyers mate.

RE: THE Official HPI Savage Flux-HP Thread
The lynch mob here needs to chill a little because HPI is to fault too-the way they go about just throwing parts out isn't the smartest way to go about doing things-from a bean counter's perspective. But maybe HPI likes doing it the way they've been doing to keep it simple? Probably. So in the meantime, enjoy the very customer oriented customer service they provide us. If they were worried about it, all they would need you to do is simply send in the destroyed or not yet destroyed inferior parts related to the affected platform, in this case the Flux. Upon receipt of your old parts, they would then log you into a database and then send out replacements. Bada boom, bada bing.

RE: THE Official HPI Savage Flux-HP Thread
I apologise for derailing the thread guys. I just can't take what is posted lately, I feel it is just isn't right. I myself was happy with the stock diffs that never failed on me. I guess for that alone, I should be happy about it.

OK, to keep the thread going. I don't know if you checked other forums lately, someone posted that new battery trays are molded differently to accomodate the pinching effect of the battery leads. Here is the link I read with pics. He even metioned that the battery rubber strap is more secure and hard to take off.

HPI hears the cry of owners with all the faults of the Flux. Hoping in the future, they will release a newer version with all the upgrades in it. Just like what they are doing with it's nitro counterpart.

RE: THE Official HPI Savage Flux-HP Thread
Somebody on another forum spent the time to talk about that issue, and it IS infact stealing. Face it, most people aren't having issues with the diffs, but people tend to get vocal about it if they do. It goes with the saying, if you have great service at a restraunt, chances are 5 ppl will hear about it. If you have bad service, 20 will. He was having 0 issues with his Diffs and most likely wouldn't have any for a long time. Things wear out overtime also, you think you should get a free part just because it wore out? MAN would racing be so much cheaper if that was the case. He took advantage of HPI and he knows it, plain and simple. HPI knows it now as well, and are doing their own thing about it.

HPI has great customer service and if they want me to send mine in before they send the replacement then I would gladly send them in. I have owned 4 Savages and a Flux, this is the first time I have ever had an issue with a Savage diff and I used to put my nitros thru hell and back.

P.S-I haven't lost any sleep over it because I tried to give them my old gears and they politely refused.

OK.... This BS about scammers and HPI handing out parts like candy and whatever is none of my concern. I simply don't care.... and have other more important things to worry about. I have little time for RC anyway, so stop clogging my favorite thread up with crap thats irrelevent to the Flux and go cry to someone else about it. this is'nt the place. And i'm talking to anyone and everyone who is'nt posting about the flux and flux related issues....grow up and get a life....
So anyone try the BP gears out yet? I'm hoping mine come tomorrow so I can toss them in this weekend and beat the snot out of them!

RE: THE Official HPI Savage Flux-HP Thread
I bought the hpi upgrades and installed them and got some runs on them. I needed ALL the shims for them. All the pinion shims and all the larger ones for the ring gear bearing in order to get a nice mesh. These run very strong and quieter than the others, and I've beaten them severely landing full traction jumps on all 4 with full power and no slipper clutch (which was a pinion stripper every other time) and I have no ill effects to report. Very nice. The HPI loctite that came with the kit is useless. It's not even hard after a week. I also used 60% filling of 50,000 wt ofna diff lock in each, and it's a massive improvement in performance.
