RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

The shimming that the diffs, suspension, and that I broke a shock eyelet within 5 minutes of getting it running.

It's not that it's a bad kit I just don't really like the Savage XS overall...

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

On the fence about selling my Savage XS SS. It's been problem after problem but for the few minutes I've been able to drive it's been a blast. Really considering selling it as a roller and getting...

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

Got it running with no binding and then after 5 minutes tops I flipped and ended up breaking the shock eyelet. Not too big of a deal since they have spares included. Thing is that I wasn't able to...

Think I finally figures out what SS really means. I'm pretty sure HPI meant "Super Sloppy"...

As you may have seen I posted a video of the huge amount of suspension play in the front uprights,...

Nothing but good feedback on the ESC itself and amazingly positive feedback on Stan's (Owner) customer service.

Check out the 120A ESC from www.brushlesshobbies.com I've seen nothing but good feedback for them so far.

Also would still like to see how the Mashers look on the XS because I think that might...

There not waterproof but if you want you could do it yourself. I would pick up the 120A and when the Vapor Pro gets back sell it on eBay to recover funds.

Here is mine sans ESC/Motor/Radio.

Should have pictures tomorrow with white rims and possibly orange if I do decide to dye them.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

Yeah if the chrome wouldn't chip off first run and look like crap I would just dye them orange and have some badass orange/chrome rims!

I'm thinking that my next body will be mostly blue and...

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

Kinda leaning toward a medium orange to try and match the color of the shock caps. Probably would call it a rusty orange that it kinda bright.

That would look really good. Would also go with my next body since I plan on going to a blue/orange/white color scheme for my Savage XS wherever possible.

Orange it is! Will probably pick up...

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

I would say the XS SS is fine for a first timer as long as you do your research, which you have.

I'm personally going with the Castle Creations Mamba Max Pro SCT combo because the motor is the...
