Not a bad theory rhylsader. But....In my experieince with the Revo (I know, a different beast), both are suceptible to failure. At least with the Savage line, shafts are at least not a known breaking point.
I have yet to blow a diff on my Flux - 7 months of running it now. I've broke a few other parts (bumper mounts front and rear). Which brings up one beef with HPI - why in Gods name do they need to sell complete tree's of parts???? I gotta buy the entire bumper assy just to get the one piece I broke. Maybe in the long run it will be cheaper for me, but for right now, it seems like that will drive up my cost.
