Savage Flux Is Now Shipping

I did a few quick runs this morning with 2 3S 5000 Flightpower packs. This is the wildest, most powerful brushless stock truck I have ever driven. It beat the snot out of my FLM brushless chassis Savage. They both have a MMM with a 2200 motor, but the lighter weight of the Flux let it walk all over the FLM. You can shoot the Flux over a jump and literally do a mid-air flip. Standing backflips were no problem.
I tried to break the diffs, but they held up. To compare, my FLM with XL hardened ring and pinion busted teeth off the pinion after 4 backflips. The Flux diffs are still going strong after 11 consecutive backflips. I think this is due to a combination of the lighter weight and new R&P on the Flux.
The FLM is more stable on a track with it's longer wheelbase, but if you can keep the Flux on its wheels it can turn tighter and accelerate faster. Still, all in all, the Flux is a pure bashing machine. I rode a wheelie for over 120 feet with no problem. The shocks handle huge jumps without bouncing the truck on landing. So far, nothing has broken! I'm amazed.
On a side note, this is NOT a truck for a newbie on 6S. It takes some experience to control the violent speed. I didn't have any decent 2S packs to run, but I think for beginners, 4S with lower gearing would be better.
Run time varied on trigger action, but the average was about 13 minutes of all out bashing. Motor and ESC were not hot at all, even covered with the body. This was with a gearing of 44/25. So bash away and don't worry about temps.
Overall, I think HPI and Castle have a real winner here.
