Flux my first Monster is on the way.

Just posted on your thread before reading this.....hmmmm the body thing. That reminds me this was one of the main reasons I never got a baja 5t. I actually saved the money for one but between the price of body, wheels, and my admitted ocd I may never drive the thing. I do NOT want to trap myself into another shelfer. Maybe the savage xl is my happy spot come to think of it. Savage XL arms are the same as the flux arent they??

I was reading on converting a savage xl to brushless and the stock chassis does not seem that difficult to make work on conversion of a flux. I am no hardcore fabber but I believe I would like to attempt to make some CF plates mocked up off the savage xl plates in 4mm tight weave.

I have my eye on some xl plates and center drive shafts now on ebay.

Ya the two applicable bodies for kerhaws conversion are the XTM mammoth and the duratrax Firehammer. Both shown on thier site. Not a huge fan of either. I am however digging the xl gigante body with my own paint of course. I am leaning in the XL direction for sure.

So the guy I bought my flux from on Sunday, said it would be sent on weds and have tracking to me same day, now he is saying he would have it out Friday now, due to not being able to find a box. Whats up with people that just think that they can send purchased items out when ever they get around to it. I work 55hours a week and when I sell something I STILL guarantee next day delivery. Oh well. Its a Christmas build anyway.

I asked just to clarify that it is in unran condition and everything comes with...the whole no box thing makes me wonder. The listing was kinda vague. A little worried.

what a coincidence; my flux is a christmas build too. the guy i bought mine from also said he would ship it on Wednesday. he said he shipped it today though via fedex ground. he said it cost him $70. that makes me a little concerned. it only cost me $20 to ship an xtm mammoth and an almost complete mammoth roller complete with 8 tires. seems a little fishy if you ask me. does $70 from south carolina to nevada sound right to anybody?

looks like there might be some stretched truths for both trucks. people just aren't trustworthy these days. this is why i prefer craigslist. no shipping involved and it is a lot easier to avoid being scammed.

edit: do you have a link the e-bay listing? they remain viewable for 90 days after the auction closes. the link to the ad for mine is in my thread.

You know I always forget about Craigs list....im sure its nice to find things local. I will post the link in a few days. He sent me tracking but the package has yet to be dropped to ups. Gawd I hate UPS the longest del service ever and they dont del on sat unless you pay for it. lol. we will see

[Desert Rc]

So I got a confirmation email...its official I have a Neu-Castle 1520 1Y
1600kv ordered for the flux build. I also have xl TVPs on the way that I bought for $15 shipped and a set of stock terra pin XL wheels and tires that cost $35 shipped. My wife got me the motor for Christmas, then tonight she asked me..."is there anything else you need for the build for Christmas? " I think I dropped a tear.lol. She must want something nice in return.

As for the Flux, Still no record of being dropped off.

So then tell her to get you the motor mount your gonna need.
