The recommended battery type for the Savage XS Flux is a 2S or 3S LiPo battery. This provides the necessary power for optimal performance and speed.
Improving the handling can be achieved by adjusting the suspension settings, using softer or harder springs, and balancing the weight distribution. Experimenting with different tires can also significantly enhance handling on various surfaces.
First, ensure that the battery is fully charged and properly connected. Check all the wiring for any loose connections or damage. If the issue persists, examine the ESC and motor for any signs of malfunction or overheating.
Regular maintenance is essential for optimal performance. After each use, clean the vehicle, check for any loose screws, and inspect the drivetrain and suspension components. A more thorough maintenance check, including lubrication and part replacement, should be done every 10-15 runs.
Remove any large debris using a brush. Use compressed air to blow out dirt from hard-to-reach areas. Clean the chassis with a damp cloth and ensure all components are dry before storing the vehicle. Avoid using water on electronic components.
To prevent overheating, ensure that the motor and ESC are not over-geared. Use proper gearing for your specific usage, and consider installing a cooling fan or heatsink on the motor. Additionally, avoid running the vehicle continuously for extended periods without breaks.
Recommended upgrades include installing a brushless motor for increased power, upgrading to heavy-duty suspension parts for better durability, and using high-performance tires to improve traction and stability.
To adjust the slipper clutch, remove the gear cover and turn the nut clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen. Proper adjustment should allow slight slip under heavy load, protecting the drivetrain from damage.
Check the connection between the servo and receiver to ensure it is secure. Test the servo with a different channel to see if the issue lies with the servo or receiver. If the problem persists, the servo may need to be replaced.
Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and lubricating moving parts, is crucial. Avoid excessive jumps and collisions that can stress components. Store the vehicle in a cool, dry place and remove the battery when not in use.
