HPI Racing Savage XS Flux 117420 Exploded View

To set up the Savage XS Flux for its first run, begin by ensuring the battery is fully charged. Install it securely and make sure all connections are tight. Check the transmitter and receiver for proper binding and calibrate the ESC according to the manual instructions. Finally, perform a range test before driving.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the vehicle after each run, checking for loose screws, inspecting for worn or damaged parts, and ensuring the drivetrain is properly lubricated. Additionally, routinely check the suspension components and battery condition.
Check the battery's charge level and connections. Ensure the ESC is properly connected to the receiver and that the transmitter is bound. Re-calibrate the ESC as per the manual and inspect for any visible damage or overheating signs.
Inspect the servo for proper functionality and ensure it is mounted securely. Check the steering linkage for any obstructions or damage. Make sure the transmitter's steering trim is correctly set and adjust as needed.
To increase speed, consider upgrading the motor and ESC, or change the gearing. Ensure that the drivetrain can handle the increased power. Additionally, using a higher-rated battery can provide more power for increased speed.
Flipping can be caused by a high center of gravity or improper suspension setup. Lower the ride height and adjust shock positions to improve stability. Reducing throttle input when turning can also prevent flipping.
The Savage XS Flux is designed for off-road use in dry conditions. Avoid running in wet or excessively muddy areas to prevent damage to electronic components. Extreme temperatures should be avoided to maintain optimal performance.
Waterproofing involves using waterproof electronics or encasing components in waterproof enclosures. Seal any gaps with silicone and use waterproof bearings and grease. However, note that full submersion is not recommended.
Store the vehicle in a cool, dry place. Remove the battery and store it separately, ideally at a storage charge level. Clean the car thoroughly to remove dirt and debris before storage to prevent corrosion.
Identify the broken part and refer to the parts manual to find the correct replacement. Use the appropriate tools to remove the damaged component, then install the new part securely. Test the vehicle to ensure proper operation.
