How they managed to fit 1/10 scale electronics on this thing is nothing short of an engineering miracle, that is both a gift and a curse (more on that later). Clearly smaller than the Traxxas Stampede 4×4, it weighs about the same. Although, HPI has promised some new bodies to change the style up a little bit.įor a mini, the XS Flux definitely weighs more than it looks. The body looks a tad bit small on the truck, and is a strange size, which will make replacing it with something already out there pretty difficult. Minus the wheelie bar, this thing from a distance looks just like it’s big brother the Savage Flux HP.
