Give us a ballpark number of your price range. Do you have lipo's yet? How about radio system - your gonna want a 2.4 system for brushless.
An alternative to a Flux is to buy a Savage X or XL used and convert it - not much to converting one to be a copy of a flux at all.....

Or, as someone said earlier, if the cost is too high, do a conversion on your Revo, and at a later time, you can move the "good" stuff over to whatever truck you want. Just upgrade your diff cups to Aluminum at a minimum, and you should be good to go for a while.

IMHO, there isn't much in 1/10 that is very durable, unless you consider an Emaxx 1/10. And with that, you wont be money ahead compared to converting your Revo - especially since its pretty much ready for brushless as it sits. You'll spend some maintenance money in axles and arms on it for a while, but it shouldn't be too bad.


Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES
