Well today was the big day at "Mini Death Valley" I met up with a few of my LHS guys earlier this morning and they were fueling up their Baja's when I arrived and my Flux was charged and ready to go. It was time to see the battle of Flux vs Baja at long last....
Running on only 4S 6000mAh 28C SMC's batteries, I was easily able to keep speed with the Baja's that were going full throttle in the straight sections. My friend has clocked his 5T under rader at around 45mph, so I know my Flux was easily able to do that speed with just 4S and stock gearing.
Due to the nature of the baja's larger and longer wheelbase however, they had the advantage of stability where I had to fight to keep my power to the ground. After a few laps, I managed to get the balance down between speed and control and the Baja guys were amazed at how quickly my Flux was able to catch up to them in the event I flipped over or spun out. As far as jumps, I kid you not when at full throttle I hit a large dirt hill and easily went over 12 feet up in the air and damn near 20 feet distance before my Flux came back from orbit, shrugged it off and was ready for more.
Sad to say, there was no extra person to film or photograph this event, so you'll just have to have faith in my words when I say, the Flux EASILY keeps on bar with Baja's on only 4S power. Once I upgrade to a 6S LIpos, Big Joe 40 series tires and Spektrum DX 2.0 radio, its gonna be a REAL interesting race next time we meet and NEXT time, it WILL be recorded for all to see
