Default RE: Savage .21 to flux conversion

LOL a bashing video will have to wait

Got a wheelie bar today slapped it on than took it out today to show my nephew, after 10 minutes I snapped a rear dogbone in clean in half. Gotta get the heavy duty ones. I figured the .21 dogbones wouldn't last that long with the power the engine was putting out.

Sucker was easily pulling wheelies down the whole block.

Sad thing is the wheelie bar isn't helping with it flipping from a stand still. I have to use finesse when accelerating now. Something I never thought I'd have to think about with a savage .

I also pretty much did in a brand new body that came with it Didn't like the body anyways, the last owners paint job SUCKED, and a good chunk fell off

I'm actually tempted to get XL TVP's once I get some cash on the side and extend it to try and curb the flipping.

BTW I drove it for around 20 mins total almost all at full throttle without recharging the batteries and they only dropped to around 3.9V per cell from 4.2V per cell, I probably still have 20-30 mins of runtime left
