Savage Flux first impressions

[E-Revonut]

Pinions do wear out, I have one pinion from my truggy that you can see the wear on from the spur, after a year of racing. Pinions no matter how hard, if running against an equally hard spur will wear out quicker, they spin about 3-5 times more than the spur. My primary reason for switching to pastic is that I'm lowering the gearing and plastic spurs are cheaper, but also I do like that they are a bit quieter and smoother.

Back on track though, on my impressions of the flux. I have had it a couple weeks now. Last year I got a E-Maxx at this same time. So the running I have done is similar. I like that I have yet to break anything on the truck. On the downside though, I know have another truck that I have to order all parts for. I had to order from Tower earlier in the week to get gears to change the gearing. So when I do eventually break something I have to order and wait to fix it. The best part about the Traxxas stuff is that I can drive 10 minutes to the LHS and get parts.
