I have Thunder Power 5000 40C 3s (expensive batts) and 5000 30C 2S and they are awesome! You also need to upgrade your radio. I upgraded mine to Futaba 3Pm. Funny you said that you want to buy the flux, cause I'm thinking of selling mine. I want to get a 5T. Let me know if you are interested. My email is [email protected]

Here's my Flux on youtube -

3S power is insane! Nice vid pinkducky. Love the 360 controlled jumps.

lightning73

hey ducky how much you lookin to get for that setup?

pinkducky

I'm not really sure yet. I know I invested a lot of money. Here's what I got

Savage Flux upgraded with TCS chassiss - http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Introduct...k-p-17756.html
Integy HD Aluminum Rear Carriers
Futaba 3PM radio with case
I have 6 batteries that gives me over a hour or run time. The Thunder Power 3S are expensive but really powerful. There are the ones that powered my YouTube videos.
There are $378 for the pair - http://www.rclipos.com/TP5000-3SPRD.htm. I took out the hard case so that they will fit the battery case. I also flipped my battery case so that you can access them easily.
My Zippy lipos are $200 for the 2 pairs - http://tinyurl.com/y9f2cnt
Also I outfitted my diffs with new HPI bullet proof diffs - http://tinyurl.com/yajvg3b

It's RTR and only thing you would need is a decent battery charger. I recommend Hyperion.

All in all I spent around $1600.00. It's a very solid truck now. I even upgraded the front end with much thicker turn buckle (HPI Hellfire's)

Here are some pics, could use a new body though but you can get a new one from TCS fro $30 bucks - http://tinyurl.com/y9koa5m

I'm not too sure how much I should ask for all these. Make me an offer I guess :-). Here are some pics -

lightning73

oknow that i knowhow much you have invested in it...i dont think the offer that im capable of makingright now would be enough...and i wouldnt want to insult you...lol.

pinkducky

I would be happy to get half of what I spent! Would that work out for you? If not I will part this out at Fleabay!

lightning73

you`ve sparked my interests my friend!!!..lol...the only question is...how much is this battery charger gonna run me...im sure a charger for lipos isnt gonna be cheap!...and im guessing my dynamite prophet charger wont work on them...i think they are strictly for nicads...

pinkducky

I have Hyperion charger which I love and I'm keeping it for my Baja 5B. You can get it on ebay for 129. This is the one I have - http://tinyurl.com/yk725f9
If you have the dough, go for the dual charger - http://tinyurl.com/yg3zk4t

If money is tight I've heard this is a great charger too? Perhaps buy two? - http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html

I find it better to have 2 chargers or dual. Charging 6 batts can be a pain especially when you are itching to go out and bash LOL!

hghflyrjd1

so these flux the lipos need to have deans connectors?also IF any what upgrades have u guys done to make these trucks stronger?knuckles, cvds?

CR500rider

the dual charger can be had for lots cheaper. i picked mine up NIB on ebay for 240 shipped buy it now.

pinkducky

Yeah I just saw that on ebay. That's a great deal and a superb charger!

pinkducky

Yep, deans connectors are required. You can use the stock bones, they are fine. I would upgrade all my drive cups to HD ones. Also, transmission needs to be changed to a HD one. Stock one is crap!
The other main thing is to make sure you have Bulletproof diffs, with 3S power, a couple of standing back flips, your diffs go bye bye. I have ruin 2 pairs of stock diffs!

hghflyrjd1

well im getting the new HP flux shouldnt have the upgraded cups and tranny it says all metal and the diffs?

hghflyrjd1

I wonder how much shimming the diff would help ive done it on all my other diffs and it helped some keeps em from separating.

sheograth

Please don't use the forums for sale/trade stuff guys, that's what the RCU marketplace is for.

lightning73

my bad!. i take blame for that one....oops!

CR500rider

wow, i cant believe how much your flux is up to! 810 with time left still! lol

lightning73

lmao cr500rider....ive been watchin it too!!!
