If you had a choice for bashing the BL E-Revo or this Savage? I have only run a REVO. Never drove a Savage....

I kinda like it, though its definately not as authoritive as my truck, har har har...
Only thing that would concern me is the rather small battery boxes- they look quite long and deep, but only wide enough for 5000mah 2s lipos really- Im sure some clever sods will come up with bigger ones though without much hassle. A longer aftermarket chassis shouldnt be too much trouble either, just a case of stretching the existing design and shifting mounting points as needed, a la FLM aftermarket chassis designs etc etc.
Nice truck, but Im happy with my one

Who came up with the name, its cheezy... the Flux Blur
You would probably get more attention if you marketed it as the actual CC products.

You may be too young, but I get a kick out of the name Blur, like on the Little Rascals movie!
Then when they release a 10-12s version it can be called the Blur II, The Sequel.........
This truck does nothing but get me excited, oh what 2009 will behold us all. I am sure a Losi LST BL version will pop up as well.

Personally I like the shorter chassis for bashing. Easier to to backflips and other tricks. I am interested to see what the configuration of the tranny is.
Woot I just realised there are no mechanical brakes it's a single speed woot.
Savage: FLM Conversion, 6s, MMM, CC 1520.
Mini-T Pro: Micro Pro 6800kv, Lipo, HS-81mg, Dirt Hawgs
M18MT: Quark 33A, Y22S 6000kv, FP 2s Lipo
LRP S8-BX: RC-M Conversion, Tekin RX8 B1600KV, 6S.

Im thinking it wont be sold seperately, as its an integral part of the truck- not the same as buying the MMM system and sticking it in any truck you please... (thats my theory anyway).

Why can you buy the Flux system on its own?

I like the simple motor mount. It looks like a couple bands that wrap around the 40mm motor and then are adjusted with then nitro motor mount slots. Simple.
I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

what's that for stupid idea??
Offcourse it can be bought seperately, thinking of spare???
And it can be used un many other trucks, it's just the same as the Teckno motors...

Curious. Given these are just re-badged castle systems, its kinda strange that HPI would sell them serperately- surely castle would make more money from selling their systems with their badges seperately and only allowing other companies to sell them as part of the whole rtr truck package? My main thought is that if the CC system is cheaper than the rebadged system, then HPI wont make too much from selling them seperately (especially after CC gets their slice so to speak)? If however the hpi version undercuts the CC version, then CC just shot themselves in the foot a tad...
I am well aware either HPI system can be used in any truck though Joram, but that wasnt my point- I was thinking about marketing rather than compatibility...
