Is there a way to make the flux last for more than a 1/2 pack ? - RC-Monster Forums

That's a bunch of hooey (AKA - Crap). I've only run mine on 4S once, and wont likely do it again. And yes, I beat the snot out of it, and drive it like it was stolen. My drivetrain has yet to show signs of wear and tear - however, the rest of it has been torn apart and upgraded to handle the power.

Pull the reciever lid off, pull the esc plug, and plug in the Castle wire (which you likely dont have unless you bought it seperatley (I dont remember mine coming with the wire). Then connect it to your PC.

I've got my punch control set on 20% (or is that 80...cant remember which way that goes). Timing is at stock (I think that is 10?).

This is my esc setup:

Start power=high
Timing = lowest
Punchcontrol=100%

I made a comment in your other thread on this. I'm guessing that maybe driving habits might be coming into play here. If its not, my money is on you having just recieved a truck that was built on a late friday afternoon, with a set of bad drivetrain parts. The latter is not near as likely as the former.
This truck is much heavier, and probably much faster than those 80 dollar stadium trucks. You could get away with things like landing a jump on full throttle with those, at least for a certain amount of time.
Someone used the term Abuse - to me that means intentionally doing things that might cause damage, inadvertently doing something that causes damage is nothing to be ashamed of.

would it be a good idea to lower the forward throttle amount to 80% to reduce power ? or maby lower the start power to medium instead or high ?

speedy · 11.28.2009, 05:51 PM

are the e-maxx 3905 or e-revo more durable than the savage flux ?

Crank the start power down, try low ?
Punch control, if your at 100% you can bring it down a little if needed.
Don't mess with EPA unless absolutely nessasary(thats what the Programing feature is for)
Timing set at Low should be OK

Loosen up the slipper so it slips on high traction surfaces the first couple feet and don't be afraid to experiment with the slipper settings. Try it loosened up, you can always cinch it back up.

I ment the forward throttle setting on the esc not the tx !

Mayby monster mike could fab some stronger outputs and driveshaft's for me ?

speedy · 12.06.2009, 10:55 AM

Is there any stronger diffoutputs aviable for the flux ? I broke one on the rear diff today after 20min of bashing ! (35min total runtime since opening the box ) I also broke a drivepin on the rear right driveshaft !
This truck seem to be a pice of garbage ! an 1000$ + pice of garbage that is !!

i will never buy a savage again ! i'll stick to my e-revo !

I bash my flux like nobody else I run it on 4s and have never had a drivetrain issue, I have broke my tvps a arms bulkheads, hingepins, but thats all my fault for bad landings.
