@Jake93r17 Yeah, I had the ESC settings for brakes at 100% which was waayy too high causing it to flip like that, its hard on the drivetrain and ESC so now I have brakes at 20%
Yep, with bulletproof diffs now installed its basically indesctructable now. Only future problem I see is the ESC fan is showing signs of failing due to all the dust and what not.
If you want a more "controlled" brushless vehicle with waterproofing, along with better track handling, the Revo would be the choice.
are these the Diffs that now come stock? I heard the first of them were chewing through diffs and HPI was sending replacements out, if you get the truck now the diffs are changed to the better design.
I know this will be a problem with the ESC fan shutting down or the heatsinks inside getting dirty and cant decimate the heat properly. Putting some filter mesh from a fish tank lol yes a fish tank, (you can get it at any fish store or walmart) just stick it ontop of the ESC then use a zip tie to keep it on. make sure you get the thick but aireated filter that will allow the fan to suck in air easily but keep everything else out.
@DrnkSqrrlProductions Im pretty sure the e-revo isnt waterproof. It uses the mamba monster and not the velineon system which is waterproof. Traxxas.com has all the features listed for ya
I love the flux, it's a power house monster. Very nice video, i hope to see more from your flus, What problems have you had with it so far? lol probly some diff problems but that's normal for the power this thing is puting out, the CEN diffs work very very well. the pinion has some problems to, just woundering if you have came into those problems?
usually i don't sick around for those vids that look good on the search screen but are boring when you click it but this vid is far from borin
I'm gonna make my E-Savage brushless shortly and although it's a tough truck. this is what i wish i waited off for instead. Worlds apart in all aspects
HPI says yes, others say no. Castle creations states they wouldn't recommend it as NIMH doesn't put out enough "C" rating discharge which in turn can fry your ESC
My suggestion after just switching from Ni-Mh to Lipo is
GO LIPO!
they last a hell of a lot longer with a hell of a lot more power. i thought my flux was ok on Ni-Mh untill my Batts lost a cell (out of a six pack) because of too much amp draw.
Nope, none so far. I filled them with 100k diff fluid and no probs. Though i've haven't been able to drive for almost two months waiting on my replacement Lipo's that puffed up
I am only 10 seconds into the video and. YESSS finally!!! A video that isn't ruined with shitty music! Thank you soooo much!

LiPo batteries can puff up and calm down, then be checked with a cell spy. If there's no short circuits, they;re good as ever.
