Savage Flux TCS 5th scale buggy with upgrades
I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY (did I make it obvious enough) dont want to do this but its looking like I dont have a choice.
This thing is simply amazing. Ever think about getting a 5b and going, "ya know, I really wish this thing didnt sound like a weed wacker and had 4wd"? Well if you have, then your mind is like mine. This is the solution.
I could not believe how awesome this thing was when I was done. I tore it completely down from a stock flux, installed the kit, and ran outside like a kid on christmas to test run. AMAZING. Unlike the stock flux, when you pull the trigger in, this thing hooks up and takes off like a rocket. Crazy. No more tripple standing backflips and grinding through truck bodies after 60ft upside down slides down the street. This thing is stable. The power goes straight to the ground, its squats the back end down, lifts the front up and just takes off. Launch it off a ramp or a hill and she flies perfectly level. I think you get the point. Its awesome.
I wanted to make this thing tougher, so I added alloy steering blocks and c hubs up front, and alloy hubs in the rear. I also wanted to widen it up a bit, so I picked up the HPI axle extension kit. Awesome improvement and added durability.
The only problem is I lost a screw in the steering rack so unless I can find something you'd have to pick up a screw before you run it. I also have a brand new set of BulletProof diffs which will be included as well, plus an unpainted but trimmed baja buggy body, and the stock TVPs if you wanna go back to the stock truck setup.
Now for the eye candy...

I got a ticket, and I have to get new tires for my 1:1th car before my track day at the end of the month. Therefore, I unfortunately have to let this thing go. Starting at 600. OBO. PM if interested.
Oh and excuse me in the background in the mirror crying over having to let this thing go. |
