hpi savage flux?

thanks for the pics and reccomendations i appreciate it. hopefully fast lane machine makes one but if not i can always ahve my dad make one out of stainless steel. i plan to only run 4 or 5s so im probably going to clean the maxx up and replace some parts on it and put it up for sale. any one know which fans work on the MMM mine died the last time i powerd it up. or can some one link me to the v3 case with fan?
this truck really is going to be be for bashing and stuff. maybe light racing with friends. i probably will do the lst shocks and 17mm hub conversion. savage seems pretty bulletproof too me.

He must have got one that was assembled on a Friday. I've beat the living snot out of mine, mostly on 6S, and only have a broken wheelie bar mount and broken front bumper mount to show for it. If your going to use one persons vehicle as an indicator of quality, maybe you should pick mine intead.

I'll try out that velcro strip idea - the tray latches do leave something to be desired.

Yesterday I was out showing it off to my brother (he was in from L.A.) - I was cruising it up the street at about 25mph and I blipped the throttle thinking I would just do a little wheelie. It did a complete back flip and kept going down the street! Doubt if I'll ever be able to do that intentionally, but it was damn cool!

Call me ignorant, but what is the native language of Quebec? Is it French or English? If French, Freezebyte needs to lighten up a bit and realize not everyone is a native English speaker.

Buy the Flux. You won't regret it at all. It is faster than any nitro Savage when using 3S packs. With Castlelink, and you will need it with 3S packs, it's as mild or wild as you want it to be with only a couple clicks of your mouse.

Uh the Flux already has the 17mm hubs and the stock shocks have been able to withstand some heavy crashes and HPI has already announced they are making a hardened steel one with the link I posted. All the fluxs have the MMM V3 with the fan as well
