wow you make want to get one to..
electric Eel you have a flm and a flux right. i am doing a flm my self.
can you tell me if the flux motor clamp and all that supports it will fit.
what i would like to do is carry the drive train over from flux to the flm.

The Flux mount really won't work with the FLM. It actually hangs out past the TVP on a special lower motor plate. You don't really need it though. The stock FLM mount works great. The single speed tranny will bolt right into FLM's chassis, as will the new bulkheads.
The more I drive this truck, the more it reinforces my belief that a lower weight is the way to go for performance. Start ditching all the aluminum and stick with plastic whenever possible. Alloy looks good, but in the end it hurts performance and leads to other parts breaking. Except for Integy parts, they give you the flexibility of plastic with the looks of alloy. At least for the first crash.

ok thanks i just have to wait for hpi to put out parts for the flux. it sounds like you gave
your one a real beating and on 6s power and the drive train stayed alive thats so good.

can put up a video of your flux and flm going at it...love to see it....thanks

No joke. I just keep reminding myself I don't have room! Too many projects going.

Does anyone know if the Savage XL Chassis conversion kit will work with the Savage Flux? I figure it'd be a worthwhile upgrade for stability reasons, assuming the new battery boxes, tranny, and motor mounts match up.

Savage XL Chassis Conversion Kit

I don't think it will work. If you look closely at the pics of the flux, the motor/mount stick out the side of the tvp's and there is an open portion in the tvp's ot accomodate that. There is no such opening in the XL tvp.

Check this video on 6S lipo it not mine but is very good http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=16chv6pNnvc

and this on 4S http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=4z4Pb5EH_ZE

...Generis at GCM will have a Flux dedicated extended chassis out very soon...Wont be as long as an XL but it will certainly be something different to the loads of FLM's out there ;)

I can't imagine HPI won't have a Flux XL out eventually. Maybe that's what Patrick wants us testing that 1518 motor for? :) :) :)
Give it a year or late summer maybe. Lots of guys will beat HPI to it tho. Really if someone could just make one tvp to match the other XL that would work for conversions....
*hint* *hint* Mike? Jamie?

Can anyone with a flux maybe snap a few pics of the exploded diagram of the tranny... Or maybe scan the manual... Or maybe get me a link to the manual online, as I cannot seem to find it!

Please x2.

They don't have the manual up yet. I've been dying to take a look. The HPI manuals are the best I've seen. Love all the parts lists and 1:1 diagrams in the back.


Killed the diff in my XL today. I can't wait for the chop shops to get these up on ebay, tho the prices are going to be bad...

I just want to see if the tranny internals will fit the std SS tranny case. I will most likely buy the flm bulks for my big flm savvy. I have not run it yet, but plan to run the hpi heavy duty al cups with the steel inserts...

Is that good, or should I do something else?

I think you should stick LST diffs in it.........

HAHA. Not sure they would fit without a ton of work... At that point I might as well just sell it and buy another lst.. The lst is a better truck, IMO... Thats just me though, don't want to start a war in the savvy section!

Mine should be here tomorrow - I'll get your info ASAP.
