yes, the new vxl from traxxas is waterproof, but the bearings on the moter are not... so you blow the whole thing down with compressed air, and re-oil the bearings. It will work. And my e-revo 1/16 is coming in about a week :) can't wait.
Does the Flux have the ability to move the pin where the upper arms connect to the bulkhead to a lower position like the esavage does? This lowers the roll center of the truck greatly increasing stability in turns and prevents traction rolling. I know GP savages dont have this option for whatever reason, but there is a kit you can buy to do it.
how heavy is the flux? becuase i picked one up at the hobby shop and it seemed pretty light, but it also seems to be smaller, becuase my converted revo on 7s2p a123 is 11.8 pounds :) but i can take off a pound by using 7s1p. also how heavy was your converted revo?
ur truck certainly does some mileage

Pick my Flux up on Saturday and thatnks to videos like this I feel I made the right choice.
I never thought I would ever spend so much on batteries in my life though.
Thanks for reminding me to dry and oil the bearings after wer runs. I better check my aftershock..
Happy Bashing!

probably the ideal surface for one of these monsters as it wont grip roll or power flip over so much

So how'd did you waterproof it so you didn't fry that expensive electro stuff?
DrnkSqrrlProductions 2 years ago
esc.. waterproof already,
moter.. waterproof (but u have to dry and oil bearings after water runs)
batteries: Maxamps (waterproof)
or Nimh, which don't care about water.
i'm going electric now... (presses the add to cart button on the e-store)

Very cool! I still much prefer the E-Revo, but that thing is sweet!

Thanks. E-Revo was good too, but Savage is tougher with all-metal drivetrain.
trxmh 3 years ago
If you say so. Personally, I have never seen a damaged E-Revo tranny, even with 6s lipo and neus.
VXLBeast 3 years ago
Yep, mine was converted e-revo with nitro revo transmission locked on 2th, so it was weaker than regular e-revos tranny.
trxmh 3 years ago
Ah, yah, nitro tranny is weaker.

@VXLBeast Not broke any drive-shafts? I find the plastic shafts is a problem with all the traxxas vehicles...

how is the handeling like compared to the revo you had?
shittybill93 3 years ago
Revo was lighter. Flux handles really good with 4s lipo, great truck for jumping and bashing.
