[/quote] Hi taberj47, Which badlands tires on your xs? 2.2 all terrain(5.06 x 2.07") or 2.2 SC(4.4 x 1.96")? Can I put badlands and dirt hawg on stock rims? Thanx!

[quote]ORIGINAL: cumminspower5.9 I might have been wrong about $260. you should already get free shipping, even if you aren't in the club i believe. but if you join the club, they take $30 off a $300+ order. so take that off the total. anyway you will get a flux for under $300.

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
[quote]ORIGINAL: cumminspower5.9 If ur getting it from towerhobbies, just order it, join the super savings club for $10, and you can get the xs for about $260. Usually they are a week or two late with their in stock dates. but you might as well just order it so you get on a list before they go out of stock again. and if the esc issue continues, just send it in to hpi. Its under warranty for a year. it might take about a month by the time you ship it out and get it back, but shipping is cheaper than a whole new $180 vapor pro esc. [/quote] Hi cumminspower5.9, How do you get a xs for about 260? There is only a $10 free shipping I can see if joinning the super saver club. Thanx!

Tower shows XS Flux will be in stock on late march, it's 28th now and I think they would probably postpone the in stock date , does anyone know something about it? Hope they fix the esc problem in this new batch truck? Thanx!

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
[quote]ORIGINAL: cumminspower5.9 That is correct. The flux xs will run about any 2.2" tire/wheel combo. Just make sure to keep an eye on your temps when you run these. they have a larger outside diameter and will run your motor a few degrees warmer. oh yea and it will easily do a backflip one after another. keep an eye on your slipper pad tightness when doing that. mine came loose doing that and almost burnt up my slipper pads. [/quote] OK, thanx again!

RE: Official HPI Savage Flux XS thread...
[quote]ORIGINAL: cumminspower5.9 Well with the stock tires, you will most likely not be able to do a standing backflip. Unless there is a light from above giving you more power lol. I have upgraded my tires to the Pro-Line badlands, and with a 7.4v 2s lipo, it will do a standing backflip. I use a 25c lipo. 25-30c lipo is a good C rating. This is a great little truck, and for the price, this is the best bang for yor buck right now in my opinion. [/quote] cumminspower5.9, thanx a lot. Pro-Line badlands w/ stock wheels? any parts that I need to pay more attention (upgrade) before doing backflip? Thanx!
