Rckcrwlr's Savage Flux HP...or is it?

6s and a smaller pinion would be my choice. Gear for around 40mph on 6s and see how the motor does. Stock tires are not too heavy but I can imagine those 5t ones will add weight.

1.8 and 2.4lbs respectively.

I'm looking at 5S, as that is what I have for my truggy, running 47/17 (nitro conversion rather than Flux base) for ~40 on a 2200kV (for now).

Haven't yet run mine either, but I suspect that it'll run well in a straight line and turn like a dog due to the locked 50/50 split of the gearbox. I did do some shaving on the front uprights to get a tad more throw, but don't think it'll do much.

I picked up the Big Bore shocks and will set it up where it squats some. Hoping to get the chassis more level. With the weight and height of the Proline Trenchers, I am hoping that it may handle pretty good.

I switched to from the standard pink springs to the white springs (the spring the Flux and Big Bores use are the Hellfire springs) to start with due to the increased sprung weight.

Where did you get the HPI Wide Track Conversion and the 24mm adapters? Would like to build one myself. Been thinking about it for awhile, cause I have an XL with a 1527 and I think this would be better suited.

Ordered them from my local hobby shop.

Can't find the Wide Track Conversion Kit...Looks like it may be discontinued.
