hey webdr looking froward to the review, but can you do me one favor?

alot of the reviews on rcu they have kinda strayed from the old ones as in, no one real strips down the car to show you the nitty gritty.

so maybe if time allows, strip down the trans and diff to clarify that it is using the single or 2speed, and if the diffs are any different?
the diffs are XL spec or better, forgetting if the XL includeds the hardend diff ring... but it has XL bones...

yes, I'm aware of this already there lug, but i was more pointing towards the strip down, since no one on rcu really does the good old strip downs to the chassis it self, i mean some do, but not like the very first articles..

yeah totally true with that, no questions there, tho in the vids, i'm seeing some serous lack of bashing, come on 6 in jumps on a 1/8 MT???? PLEASE people yeah you're new but come on you're reviewing these trucks BEAT THEM HARD!!!!!!, tho i gotta say the review on AE's mini MGT was great, the RTX-27 please go big or go home...., i don't mean you should be ripping 10ft jumps but, if you're jump barely clears the top of the grass, and you don't have a huge hole in the ground, make it bigger, i put my truck through more abuse just taking it in and out of my pit bag and such, (what i drop it on the floor, if it can't take that then idk how its still in 1 piece), it would be nice to see people putting these trucks through bigger air, and rougher terrain, yeah its nice to see review by people who havn't driven trucks but its also nice to see old vets. driving the trucks too....

Lug, go to the review section, do a search by author. Find Matt Gunn (me). Look at any video and tell me I dont bash the crap outta the vehicle
I take pride in beating on the vehicle I review. Afterall, its not a review if you dont try to break it!
Thanks for the props on the AE MMGT review. That was a fun one.
peace.

I think you guys will be pleased to know that RCU will be the first to review the [link=http://www.hpiracing.com/kitinfo/100646/]Savage Flux[/link], even before the magazines[8D]
It shipped out today and is enroute. I should have the review done in a few weeks from when I get it.
Matt
GREAT! I can't wait I though it looked really nice, so I can't wait.

Before you post the full review, could you please give us details about the new upgrades on it? For example, I heard that the diffs now have larger bearings, is that true? Also, what are the dimensions of the battery box?

Thanks for all your great reviews!
