HPI: Savage Flux on the way? 8th scale electric savage

It has a different part number and a "new" designation for the gearbox/bulkheads. A friend translated it for me and basically it says that they have been redesigned and reinforced to prevent the ring and pinion from losing mesh under high, sudden torque.

Just received a reply to my e-mail to HPI. Looks like the diff bearings are larger as well.

"Thank you for contacting HPI Racing and Hot Bodies customer service. It looks like we did change the bearing size on the new Savage Flux and we also changed the material on the diff as well to make them stronger. We also have changed the diff bulk head so all around the diffs are upgraded.

Very interesting, good job. Wonder if these new parts will bolt into a savage....
