Nick,
You'll love it. I just ordered paddles all around for my trip to the dunes of MI.

Can't wait. Only issue I had was my slipper burning up. Fixed that with a set-up from Kershaw Designs.

Nice! Are you using a steel spur or plastic? Are you still running the stock flux motor? I just posted a thread with my project.

Steel spur and stock motor. Haven't had issues with heat. I see you are running wider tires. I'm running 5B Trenchers. The tread is harder and narrower but they are heavier than what you are running.

Actually, that's just what came on the roller I got. I'm using the 5SC wheels and tires. Got halfway through putting them together on lunch break today. I'm hoping today to have the wheels and tires mounted on the roller so I can get an idea of track width.

You are going to need the 24mm hex adapters for the Baja Wheels...

Those are good, but they suck because of Savage axle design. Nick knows about my solution, since he did them for me, so I would highly suggest that. Yes you lose a tad bit of width, but its a much studier solution (I posted it in my thread about my 5T here at RCM). I went through at least four axles where I busted it at the end of the threads; rather expensive.

I was testing some motors for a vendor so I go the Flux 5B out.

Ran different combos and had it dialed in...then..................... it stopped....

Got to finally get it apart and found this rattle can

Opened it up to find this...




But where are the teeth???



Oh, there they are.




Here's the failed parts. Surprisingly there was no other damage.
