Project: Savage Flux 5T

[thzero]

Since I'm looking at turning my truggy into a 5th scale (mostly because I found myself trying to truggify the Savage so why not start with a truggy intead), I turned by Savage back into a standard sized Flux to run on 4S (for now); got one lid painted up and this how it ended up...



Some non-standard features...

TCS Crawler TVPs (until I decide what I want in custom carbon ones to fab up)
ProLine Trencher tires on Tech 5 wheels (love the look of these mounted up)
Integy rear-hubs
FLM Drag Link (http://www.fastlanemachine.net/prodd...lm48000&cat=22)
FLM Skid Brace (http://www.fastlanemachine.net/prodd...lm47500&cat=22)
Spektrum DX3S/3100R transmitter/receiver
Running 47/19 ratio (may go up to 47/20... if I want tons of speed, I can whip out the truggy)
HD Drive Gear 18-23T (102514)
Yellow springs and 50W oil
Modified steering hubs (see further up this thread)

Will be looking at swapping to using truggy-style hex hubs instead on modified XL axles. Also when I rebuild the diffs I'll swap to using the Vorza/D8 cups and HD internals.

May eventually put a 1518 (my 1520 is going in the 5th scale) with the GCM 42mm motor mount.

This is just planned to run on 2S or 3S; nothing too wild.
