How come i hear of people having so much bad luck with the flux xs, and others are doing just fine with theirs? im about to purchase this and i dont want to have a pos. ill prob be ordering mine within 2 weeks or so.
You've been following the thread for a while....It really seems to come down to complete luck in some cases and/or preventive actions in other cases...
Drive cups, Antenna Wires, Steering Servos, ESCs, Motor's, DogBones, Loose Pinions, etc...
If you are not willing to take the chance....or are ready to replace some of the known deficient parts....Then the XS is not the right choice for you.
It comes down to a choice that you have to make...
I chose to replace the steering servo, motor, gear down, and go through the entire truck before it ever had power to it...I have had my truck since September '11 on 2S and 3S...with no significant issues. No, I don't beat the crap out of my toys but, I do run them hard enough.
