What I would like to do is get some info laid out here. Not looking to get laid by Harold...

1st up is what vehicles come with what diffs?

I know the older savvys (21 and 25?) had diffs with only 2 spiders. Later models (X?) had 4 spider diffs stock.

What diffs do flux have? I think there was an upgrade to the bulletproof at some point, can someone clarify this?

Also, which diffs does the XL come with?

Mainly doing this to aid my search for parts, and use the chop shops on ebay for better deals as I could use other parts too.

Also would like to know what options I have for flux transmissions. Pretty sure I remember some sort of internal gear upgrade??


Any help would be greatly appreicated!

flux and XL have always shared the same diffs. at first it was the HD diffs and then they were both upgraded to the BP diffs about a yr ago. savage 21 and 25 had the same diffs, but im not sure what diffs the X came with.

I remember that the XL has stock arms, but uses spacers to get the extra track width. Is there an outer hub that can be used with the XL dogbones to not use the spacer? I also think HPI sold a "heavy duty" dogbone setup for the std X savage.

The strongest dogbones come on the flux and XL. Do not buy the chrome HD dogbones or cups from the savage SS kits as they are just weak garbage. As far as the hubs go nobody really makes a set that are worth a shit, but here is a link to what another member here did: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...t=28379&page=2

Same non-BP diffs that the XL has.

All the uprights, hubs, arms, etc. are the same between the X, XL and Flux. Only differences are that the XL and Flux both use the HD axles and dogbones; XL has wider axles than the Flux, about .5" wider. Because of the HD dogbones, the XL/Flux also use different cups than the X for the diffs.

As to the two Integy parts, I think the first one is an older part with the second one being a newer part. I've been running the second one with mine, using the X SS's adjustable upper a-arm.
