Savage-Flux · **flux tires....... -** 03.23.2010, 09:17 PM

First time posting here in like over a year so ere goes: OK, so i bought some new, savage X, i guess you'd call it, tires. they are the stock tires for the flux. ANYWAYS, I have been having one repeated issue, i ALWAYS blow out the front left tire, If you are behind the truck, its the front left, if youre, wait...... the american drivers side tire, there we go., any suggestons as to why the hex's get ripped to shit?, hasnt happened with the phalt lines, or the older five spoke savage wheels, with the max mashers on tem, or the new dish wheels.

What type of Lipos are you running? What gearing? What type of rims/tires? More info is needed

Only issues I had with my Flux stripping hexes was with Axial rims, the key is to make sure the nuts are on nice and secure so the wheel doesn't slip

I'd say you have an anomally here. It would almost be understandable if it were a rear one.
I haven't had a bad hex on any of my RC's since I converted everything to 17mm - and I'm a horrible driver. I changed mine on the Flux to the 1/2" offset optional hex setup right after I got it. Maybe try putting new hex's on - you may have gotten a bad one, or switch the tires right to left - see if the problem follows the rim.

Do you do a lot of driving on pavement?

Loose nut. The nyloc (plastic stay tight thingy) on locknuts wear out. I'd try a new nut and a little locktight.
