Sweet........

So one-third of your collection is brand new AND another is "new to you", life is good huh Sean?

Actually 1/4 is brand new, 1/8 are new to me. 2 other vehicles aren't pictured...they're in pieces.

Yes, life is pretty good.

Took the Savage Flux out for a little bit today to check it out. It's quite fun on just 4S with the standard gearing out of the box. Overall, it was a very good first impression. I'm planning to take it with me tomorrow to a track and see how it does.

Dang, the summit makes the flux look like a stampede.

Nice collection you have there!

+1 The Summit takes up A LOT of room on the shelf.

I took the Flux with me today to a track. The track was decent, but the jumps were really a bit much as almost all of them would really launch you skyward. Here's a synopsis of the track time with the Flux:

Lots of folks asked what the truck was and oohed and aahed at the speed of it
Handled very well for a big MT on a track
Stock tires suck in loose dirt/sand
Jumps very well and is easy to control in the air
Batt tray popped open and a pack popped out causing some insulation damage on a batt pack power lead
Overall, I was extremely happy with the truck's performance

FWIW, there were only two vehicles on the track that could consistently come out of a corner with a very short run-up and clear the triple...my Flux and my CRT.
