Savage Flux Gearing

[fastbaja5b]

I'm kinda wondering how soft you guys run these!

I took my Flux out this arvo, still a good 30-31c (90f) out, lost the 4 shock spring retainers in the first 2-3 minutes but persisted, with the crime fighters it was uber low (probably dragged a bit at times) Certainly wasn't chucking a wheelie that low!

Motor peak temp was 165f
Batteries 125f
Speedy 117f (but I did hear the fan come on)

Batteries were 2 * Harris 5000mah 2s 30C Hardcase Lipos


although I think the bottoming out probably increased my amp draw and temps a tad.

I will say this, this thing is FAAST on 4s, I ordered a pair of 3s Zippys today for a 6s set up, but I'm almost scared to try it!

That's strange that you lost some of the preload spacers. I have had some horrific crashes end over end with mine and haven't lost any of them.

I ordered a few 3s Zippys also. I am hoping they are going to fit w/o any modification to the trays. Which ones did you buy? I bought the 20C 4000mah's.
