Finally Broke some parts on the Flux -

Brother in law and I finally made it out to do some running today. (He's got one of my HV-maxx systems on his truck now)
This was going to be my first time running my PQ 4S 6000's. I ended up getting about 25-30 minutes of run time on them, and while the performance was a let down from 6S, it made both trucks run about the same speed.
Once again, we were in a dirt soccer field with our ten-eighty launch ramps. For some reason, on 4S I have a much harder time getting the truck to land on the wheels (not that I'm good at it on 6S), but I dont think I landed on the wheels more than 10 times. Most of the others were straight down on the front or rear bumpers. Needless to say, I sheared off the screws on the wheelie bar/bumper mount, and on the front bumper mount....other than that, it still runs great! I threw in my 6S for a couple backflips (both landed on the wheels!!), then our day was finished when my B'in law announced that he had busted yet another shock tower (this makes 4 straight)...
Ambient temp was 75, fan never came on, motor and batteries were both just slightly warm to the touch (maybe 100 degrees).
It was also the first time I have ever hit the LVC....
All in all, still very happy with the Flux. I think I should pull the diffs apart. It seems like its unloading to one side under full throttle, as the truck always veers to the right, but only when really putting the power down. It may also just be one of the tires balloning more than another....
