HPI Savage XL Flux GTXL-1 1/8 Scale 6s | Stock Speed Test -Jumps - Tips | OMGRC.com

[@layback209fixorsmash3]

Its my go to basher. I found it was set up really well from factory, lock tight in the right spots. Have 10 packs through it. As per normal needed to reset the spur gear lash as it wore in and greased all the dog bones. It keeps up with everything. And performs really well on 4s! I did upgrade the axles to 17mm hotracing, i think the old school nuts are ok for nitro but not adequate for electric torque. Beef is there is no roll bar or skeloton for the body so you will bust those up as its only supported by the body posts. Ive been enjoying sending it lap after lap on the local bmx track (has some big rocks here and there that would eat a buggy and truggy, but this handels it really well). Jumps very predictable, haven't had a problem with the shocks yet. Fun truck and cheep thrills on 4s with fantastic performance!!!!! Which is amazing for an 1/8 scale. Like half the savings right there you get from the direct drive transmission. 40$ on zees and its on par with pretty much any 1/8 scale. Out of control on 6s lol. I have many rcs and my losi 5ive and the savage flux are my go to.

I bought this one recently. And i'm not sure if this is a thing for all 1/8 trucks (this is my first), but it doesnt seem to roll over as fast as a 1/10. It is well planted, goes fast and steers surprisingly well for a monster truck. This and the savage XS make my two favourite RC's at the moment.

They sell extended spring retainers on ebay

I am looking for a new(er) monster truck after being out of the hobby for 6-years. I never sold any of my RC collection and plan to start ordering parts to get them back into running shape, such as new shock oils, etc. The only reason for not dinking around with them all these years is because no one would ship batteries to our location. Now that we are in a new location with actual hobby shops and have access to shipping again, I plan to have a ton of fun with the kids this summer and would love to get something like the Flux or Xmaxx.

I was out of the hobby for 4 years, just got back in the game with the Flux, running 6s right off the bat. Wicked evil of a truck and loads of fun. I can only recommend it and welcome back!

[@2down219]

Why don’t they put cameras on these like drones? That would be cool

[@OMGRC]

Would be awesome 👍

[@abnernelson7962]

Will this be able to run on a single 6s??

[@lipoz-n-nitroz4012]

In it's stock form, no. Designed to accept two lipo batteries.

[@keqrou]

But a 3 buck blank adapter for whatever connector it used and yes. Without a blank adapter. No

Those wheels don't do too good on the street...I have those & that's my problem also! It's hard for me to find a low pro belted tire of this size that does well on the street! Imo!

Too bad they don't make these kits in Japan anymore. I'd still settle for a Taiwan made kit but these new Chinese made HPI trucks are so cheap and low quality!

[@Mew-269]

It looks really bad compared to the 2000s HPIs..

Save your money kids get a Xmaxx
