Finally got to thrash on my Flux XL - 04.13.2011, 06:55 PM

truck has TCS XL plates, XL axles, XL wheels and tires and the Savage XL body.

After hearing some XL flux owners complaining about it, i was a little hesitant on keeping mine XL length. But now that i have driven it pretty hard Im not sure why some people complain about the XL Flux not being as fun or easy to control in the air as the standard flux. I find it handles lots better, doesnt tip over as much, and with the XL tires it is just as easy to correct in the air as its shorter counterpart. It actually flies pretty well through the air so a correction is not needed as much, but if needed it corrects very easily. I was jumping it off some pretty tall ledges (12-15ft?) at a sand/gravel pit, even managed a few backflips, all landing rubber down. I think the reason Freeze didnt like his XL length savage is because he was using standard size savage tires so it was harder to correct. So far I am very happy with the XL length and cant wait to get it out again to air it out a some more.


Built Ford tough, with Chevy stuff.
