What is your take on accessing the diff's in the Savage X design (and also referring to the new brushless one)? I ask because I have one on order, but I'm second guessing myself on it - those 8ight-T's are looking awful nice, especially since the price on the 1.0's have dropped so much.

Well that is a classic truggy vs monster truck choice. I prefer monster trucks over truggies... But I am a basher and cannot appreciate the benefits of a truggy

I know the flux will still handle like a savage but it has a more durable drivetrain than the e-revo.

X diffs are definately easier to get to. Shimming the diff is a must with a savage. Does the flux come with the al cups with the steel inserts? Those are mandatory in my opinion, I have tried all of the options for my savage and they seem to work the best. Plastic cups are just junk.
I have had great success with the erevo drivetrain, but you are most likely correct that the flux will be stronger. Now if only Losi would come out with an electric lst... That would put the erevo and flux to shame (as long as it had the mmm and motor in it)
