Freeze's Savage Flux "Frostbyte II" build thread

[Muggydude]

I agree with your last statement 100%! Also depends on your abilities. Steamboat, Vail, Aspen, and Winter park are all excellent. very off topic!

I put a SC10 body I had laying around on my Emaxx:

Needs a diff bumper, but otherwise looks awesome!

Makes sense. I've yet to run anything on 6S other than my Truggy which took it like a champ.

I originally bought my Savage because it was so easy to turn it into a large truck. I will run mine on 6s, but with the 1717 motor so it won't be nearly the same as what you did.

6s definitely requires a centre diff to keep anything under control. I guess thats why truggys seem to handle 6s quite well...

Yeah, that makes complete sense. Even my truggy pops wheelies on 6s with 50k in the center. It would never do a back flip though.

im happy you are happy because im going to make my second savage stock length and lightweight as possible for all the reasons you have stated.
I want that un stable feeling again from the MT and be able to do standing back flips and rolling back flips too!

[Bmr4life]

Body looks huge now.

havent you always had problems relating to your motor and movement within the mounts?

Maybe your struggling to torque the motor mount screws down ;) only joking

Maybe try and get more leverage some way on the screws?

Could drill and tap the mount for a set screw in through the motor clamp (use a cup point screw). But if its not causing any adverse wear on the pinion/spur, then I wouldn't worry about it.

No, my first Flux had no such issues. I've got nothing for my dremel to get these poles filed down, grrr guess I need to go to the hardware store.

If you can get to it with a file, just do that. You shouldn't need to remove much to get the needed bite. Remove too much and you may end up bending something when you tighten it.

Wooo, just found today that FB2 made it into the special "Truck" edition of RC Driver, so awesome! They kinda misspelled my name in header, but hey, its all good!
