The Heatsink wraps around the motor to hold it in place. I picked the fan and heatsink up off of ebay for like $18 or so.

Haven't posted in a while so here's a quick update. The only thing I have really done to my truck (aside from my initial upgrades) is the heatsink and fan on the motor. I do have a question though....

Loving the tires. They have excellent grip on all surfaces. The 24T helps but it still gets pretty hot when doing hill climbs. It got hot and shut off on me a month ago and while it still runs it...

Spent a while working on the XS yesterday.  Installed an Integy 24t pinion, HR 60T Idler, HR drive cups, Traxxas Servo and the 2.2 Badlands.  This thing handles much much better.  It will now do a...

Ordered the Traxxas servo 2075, it's water proof and has about 3 times the torque so hopefully it will work pretty well.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

Just ordered a set of the 2.2 Badlands, some wheels, 24T pinion, 60T idler gear and HR hardened axles. Hopefully this will help it out a little.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

Ionly run 2S25c so it' can't be about me ;)

I'm building this thing to jump so I'm probably harder on it then some people, I guess I'm just used to my durability of my Savage X.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

I know parts break but this truck has had more issues than any of my others.  The cup broke after 2 packs, I hardly consider that worn but maybe that's just me.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

Got the spacers in and adjusted my shocks to 1/4 - 1/2 spring.  The shocks seem a lot better. Unfortunately one of the axle cups split in two so I was only able to run for about 2 minutes.  I'm...

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

I think mine are around 3/4 of the way down.  I'll double check it and try them at 1/2.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

Sounds like a plan.

They are on order, should be here in a few days. Now I just need to replace the servo, change the shocks and pick up some different tires for it.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

Ok, I saw the foam spacers but I wasn't sure if they were the correct size or not. I'll pick some of those up.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...

That was the problem, The pinion moved forward.  Is there a part number for the spacer or just use whatever washers I can find laying around?

I would absolutely love to get by with just a set of tires, but I've read sooo many posts about people having issues.
