HPI Savage Flux takes to the sky at the bash pit!

[kpayneracing]

2350 or HP, which flux should I get?

[cmcrobiebobo]

@kpayneracing Well the whole point is that it depends on your budget, if you want a cheaper truck, go with the 2350, but if you want a better truck at a higher price go for the HP.

[tim234mumba]

is it easy to control in high speed`????

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@tim234mumba Lol, not really but thats the idea with that truck.

[tim234mumba]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions why thats is not fun S:? if you like to run farst and dont crash all the time S:???

[msaunders300]

Rad Video! I want to go there! Too Bad Its Closed off now...

[jcumiford14]

ahahaha 4:35

[Arpit4063]

is it 2350 or HP???

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@Arpit4063 HP, 2350 didn't exist back then

[Arpit4063]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions i am confused bw savage x 2.4G 2011 and flux.

Flux i about INR1000 expensive($22). I need durability, cheap and ease of run. 6S Lipos and charger will cost another $110. What would u suggest

[TheYakiyamaClan]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions where is this and i need a perfect place like that to bash my car

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@TheYakiyamaClan In Montana but its now closed off

[757jdog]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions where at in montana i work at a local hobby shop in Helena

[575julian]

@Arpit4063 But the HP is better because the 2350 can't take 3S Lipos

[js64984]

more jumps very big ones

[Buddlie]

nice jump at 2:07

[martinrc1996]

4 gays missed the thumbs up button :(

[dirtbiker3192]

what type of batteries is this runnin off of?

[vazza69]

Damn thats a nice plase!!!!! Where is that! How far fron norway? :P hehe

[TheNoztrum]

What a kind of punishment :D

And the car is still fine ?

OMFG

[DesignerYR]

is the baja 5t better than the flux because i cant decide between those 2 or the savage xl

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@DesignerYR You have the money to burn, the 5T is hard to be for sure fun factor, but its gonna cost you. If you can't or don't wanna spend the money, the Flux is better choice. I hate nitros after my Revo so I have nothing good to say about them.

[DesignerYR]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions

thanks,

what car is tougher and less likely to break doing jumps

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@DesignerYR Its simple matter of physics. The 5T is much larger and heavier, so its going to result in far more breakages and expensive repairs vs the Flux, especially if you push it hard. You can make the 5T more bashable, but it will take some serious money to install aftermarket parts to get it to that point whereas the Flux is pretty much bash proof outa the box other then the drive grear. After owning both, I know this for a fact.

[crazyboy9002]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions  well it was a revo not a savage... keep that in mind lol

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@crazyboy9002 huh?

[suomirakion]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions hey, DrnkSqrrlProductions. I have baja 5b and it is fun car.. 45 mins with a tank.. so, im getting this car next year, so how fast it is, and how breakable? and how long batterys last? :) thx.. (sorry about bad english :/ )

[DesignerYR]

cheers,

what car is tougher and less likely to break for doing jumps etc

[RCtraxxasfan]

@DesignerYR get the baja 5t alot of fun big and good and with electric you need to charche the battery and with baja 5t just fuel it up and ready to go and the sound and smell is awesome

[mcjoshyboi789]

i that the flux hp or the new 2350

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@mcjoshyboi789

Flux HP, this was last year so the 2350 didn't exist.

[liqwon1151]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions hi .. im going to buy a savage in the next few days not sure what to git wgat would you say was better the flux hp or the 2350 or is there any real differance from the two thanks for any ifgo you could give ..

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@liqwon1151

Uh yah theres a big difference. The 2350 will only run up to 4s lipo, Flux will do 6s. 2350 only comes with AM radio, Flux comes with 2.4ghz. 2350 ESC and motor are of a different make so the quality is questionable. The 2350 is also smaller and will not take many of the regular Savage parts like the Flux. The 2350 is also slower on 4S then the Flux.

[avrilcadabra]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions the 2350 and HP are the same truck except for the esc and motor, and the motor in the 2350 is obviously a higher KV than the 2200 - Positronic

[SavageRC1]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions Im pretty sure they are the same exact size, the 2350 just has lesser quality parts like the motor and esc for example.

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@SavageRC1  Actually I found out that Castle Creations still makes the motor and ESC, its just rebadged, lower specced equipment with a cheaper pricetag

[SavageRC1]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions Lol thats what i ment the motor is still made by castle but its not as good as the mmm

[SavageRC1]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions and its goes up to 4s instead of 6s with the mmm

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

Back when I had it, it lasted about 30 mins or so, depending on throttle usage. I woudn't buy SMC batteries anymore though, they are overpriced and very picky Lipo's. I run a Baja 5T now

[michaelbrick85]

how long does that last battery?

[MIRCWOOD]

Nice truck and super cool location. I would love to drive my KMt1000 there

[awesomeskater555]

you thinck thats a jump dad his supt up rustler of a 10ft snow bank it probably whent 30ft forwards and 20ft in the air

[sonicboomracing]

wow my favorite is traxxas but that truck is amazing. you beat it like it owed you money.that things to fast for me and to expensive im only 13. my 45mph emaxx is fast enough for me.great vid man 5/5

[jssouthtx]

Nice video....good to see others not afraid to air out one of these trucks. They fly great and can take a beating better the any other brand I've seen. Even my 5.9 XL nitro savage can bash with the best of em. HPI kicks ass

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@jssouthtx

Yeah sadly though, I no longer have the Flux. Sold it and have ordered a Baja 5T

[jssouthtx]

Bummer on the flux.......Thumbs up on the 5T tho.

[warranqe]

1/5 scale is just an overkill...

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@warranqe

Lol, drive one and then see if you think the same afterwards.

[442paul]

@DrnkSqrrlProductions

just look at one

and see if u think the same afterwards lol

[aceshayarielatom]

@442paul he is just working his way up to 1/1 scale, we all have goals. both are rad trucks

[fluxful]

nice Run!

[brainanator]

whow, hey, you're in montana? what city? PW if not wanting to post publicly.

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

I'm in Missoula

[brainanator]

Sweet, we got a little club going in Butte with a couple of tracks, nothing major.  I don't know if you got many people to run with there, but I'll try to remember to let you know when we have an RC gathering some time.

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

We've got several peeps including people with Baja's and rock crawlers.

[sambonater]

nice bash spot

[panhead88]

4:36 lucky it didnt hit the family jewels!

[bashmonster6200]

i will get a savage flux on xmas but i don't know- 2s or 3s

the 3s has more power but i don't know whether the 2s has enough power. which has the longer runtimes?

[madseeg]

SICK video!

i have a savage XL and i'm so SICK of nitro

i'm grabbing a FLUX this week

quick ques:

what batery combo's are you running and what are your avg run times like?

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

I"m running SMC 6000mAh 28C 4S's and its around 30 minutes depending on how heavy I am with the throttle

[madseeg]

ok good info

what was the cost of the batteries,

do you have multiple sets for a full day of fun?

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

Cost was $180 not including shipping. I only have one set so far, I usually get tired of driving after half an hour.

[Monkeykid5228]

i know where to get some good cheap ones, save alittle money... cant say it on the comments though... pm me.

[warranqe]

cheaper the worse with lipo..

[hude2123]

where do u ppl find these places so lucky

in aus syd theres none theres only ur backyard the local park or track

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

LOL, we've got nothing but space in Montana!

[chino185]

LOL at 0:53 i thought he was standing so high up

[daleyb93]

lemme gues you didnt calculate the tragectory of this jump at 2:08, very nice, it's amazingly strong truck. sadly it beats my BL emaxx. i guess BL stock is made to be tough. ill start saving :P

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

Hard to tragectorize when you can't see the farking landing on the other side of the hill

[daleyb93]

haha yeh true, i'd be scared of smashing my car :P my emaxx isnt that tough

[supraboy12345]

this is a good vid bro, i'm glad you didn't put any music in it, it's nice to be able to hear the truck, well kind of hear it lol...

This truck is a power house man, you picked an amazing truck, you next truck should be the Savage XL K5.9 it's also an amazing truck that can't be destroyed lol...

happy bashing bud, keep the vid flowing

[savagedias]

Good video & sweet truck! The only bad part is it's just not natural for a Savage to be that quiet. lol

[willums70]

you're running two 2s packs or 2 4s packs? confused...

Either way...sweet video... 2:00 was some sick air

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

Its 4S packs which is two 2S packs in series. The Flux can only handle 6S or two 3S in series total.

[kenx53]

Nice playground! You need a dirt bike to chase after it when it doesn't land on all four. I have the Savage X 4.6 and was thinking of converting to lipo. But maybe I'd be better off to sell the 4.6 and get the Flux?

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

By the time you spend the money to convert it, you might as well purchase the Flux

[123456saucisse]

Great ! It's rare to see a good bash session vid !

Popoxx.

[pofrani]

hmp - it breaks easy - i think i'll go with a summit instead! ;-) jk

cool video and thanks for showing it. it's such a nice truck - why does it have to be so expensive??? :-(

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

Because the nicest stuff is always expensive :P

[wildcardco1998]

Good thing he had quick reflexes or he would have been singing soprano LOL

[sharkattack2009]

that is one hell of a bash spot my friend nice video.

[91W350]

The Flux is awesome, I would gladly pay the cost of admission to go to that spot and bash! Thanks for sharing!

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

LoL, not necassary, its just an abandoned dirt quarry.

[MrAirsoftguy9]

nimhs? i assume

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

ROFL! No thats 4S power baby

[stewieleetsauce1994]

Not bad, I likey....

I'm rawfuls from the E-Savage forums btw...
