Status: offline 		It won't last long on mine either.  This body sits on top of the truck a lot more than the stock one.  The battery box is completely beneath it.  Next one will be the stock style again.  The T-bone front bumper isn't pretty either...

I would definitely follow temperatures with tires that big.  I haven't been able to keep a dubro clip on the front of the savage xs or hp, it seems the body is designed to scrape the hood.  Looking good, though. I will try to get some pics up tonight.

 



yea i didnt know the tires were going to be that big till i put them on there lol. the rims and tores are 2.2" so... and i seem to have trouble keeping the back body clip holder on, prob cause the hole is justa  bit too big. but temps seemed only a few degrees higher. just running short bursts shouldnt hurt it

Just wanted to say I have been running the badlands for a few months now and my temps have been fine and I am also running a 32t. They have great traction on any surface I love em.

awesome thanks man. yea these tires grip the same on the road and off road. i find it hard to keep the front end down. it'll still do backflips even on a 2s. i love these tires. they are soft and bouncy. and my truck seems to run much more quiet with them on there.

I just replaced it with a Futaba s3010 high torque (90 oz./in. @ 6v) and i think mine it fine. Only $25 but not waterproof. I never run mine thru water anyway

the traxxas servo is the TRA 2056. Its way stronger than the xs stock plus its cheapish ~$29.
Many xs owner who wants to retain waterproofness go this route.

I'm looking for something a little better than the stock, to use all around.

I have dedicated snow or heavy mud tires, so I just need a good all around tire

Just got my flux all set up for my liking with some new HPI rims, Pro-Line Badlands, and some Dubro body clip retainers. Pics below. I think the black rims look bad a**!

I love the way Badlands will give the xs more ground clearance.Thats my only niggle with the desighn of the xs.Lack of ground clearance for a bashing truck.

Status: offline 		I bought a Robinson Racing pinion gear. Only problem is with the set screw. The one that came with it didn't seem machined correctly? No size allen wrench I have would fit, and I have a lot of them.

So I used a spare set screw that came with the XS, but it wouldn't drive down through the gear and lock on to the motor.

Has anyone had this problem before? Should I not use Robinson? Or is this just a rare bad pinion and screw??

Status: online 		Just a quick question... Would a 30c lipo give the flux xs more top speed than a 25c lipo? i know that is the discharge rate and how much punch it has, but my buddies xs on a 30c lipo seems to be faster in top speed than my xs on a 25c lipo.
