The Savage drivetrain is super flexible, allowing HPI monster trucks to reach legendary levels of durability and performance! Because of this extreme toughness, HPI designers have Super-sized the Savage to 1/5th scale, taking the Savage to a new dimension!<br />
<br />
The Super 5SC Flux takes the powerful Flux Tork 2200KV motor and Blur speedo from the amazing Savage Flux HP for truly impressive top speeds and plenty of wheel-spinning fun! The Super 5SC Flux is lighter than the Baja 5SC, so the power of the Flux Tork is a perfect match!<br />
<br />
With specialized parts to fit the Baja 5SC body, bumpers and wheels, from the outside the Super 5SC Flux looks just like its fuel-breathing stablemate. It's only when you switch it on and drive away that its secret is revealed!<br />
<br />
FEATURES:<br />
<ul><li>TF-40 2.4GHz radio</li>
<li>SB-5</li>
<li>Flux Blur ESC</li>

<b>Latest race news from <a href="http://www.traxxas.com" target="_blank">Traxxas</a>:</b><br />
<br />
The NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series heads to Heartland Park Topeka KS this weekend for the annual Dollar General Summer Nationals! Defending event champions Spencer Massey and Robert Hight will be looking to land back in the winner circle, as both have arguably been the hottest drivers in the series thus far in the season. However, since Steve Torrence and Ron Capps stole the win last week in Atlanta, the door is open for any competitor either Top Fuel and Funny Car to grab a win in the Heartland of America.<br />
<br />
Spencer Massey, winner of three events this year, had a rough going in Atlanta when Doug Kalitta defeated him in the second round. Fans were, however, guaranteed a new 2012 Top Fuel winner. Steve Torrence defeated Tony Schumacher in the final round when Tony went up in smoke before half-track. This was Steve Torrence’s first NHRA Top Fuel win and he is now entered in the Traxxas Nitro Shootout.<br />
<br />
Robert Hight found himself in yet another final round appearance. This was his fifth of the year and the seventh in a row for Traxxas and John Force Racing. Robert was forced to blip the throttle when his car lost traction early in the run. That was just enough for Ron Capps to slip by and grab his first win of the 2012 season entering him in the Traxxas Nitro Shootout. Ron was especially happy since he lost in the final against Traxxas’ Mike Neff last week.<br />
<br />
A confident Courtney Force will be in Topeka. She lost to Robert Hight last week in the second round, but her Traxxas Funny Car was the most consistent out of all four of the John Force Racing teams. Mike Neff will be happy to have another shot this weekend. He failed to qualify in Atlanta, but he was the runner up last year in Topeka. Now that the floodgates have opened up on the 2012 season, every driver has a chance at the Wally this weekend!<br />
<br />
Traxxas will be in Topeka with our full line of RC cars, support staff, and mobile hobby store. Fans will have a chance to drive a 1/16 Traxxas rally car, a 1/10 Traxxas Slash, and get to watch our professional RC drivers show the power and strength of the 65mph Brushless E-Revo! Make sure to swing by and check out what we have to offer! As always, we remind you to stay up-to-date on Traxxas.com. Facebook.com/TraxxasRacing, and the Traxxas Racing Twitter page.<br />

<br />
The 2012 JBRL Series is in full swing and the second stop on the series took place last weekend at Revelation Raceway with over 200+ entries.  Many of the world’s best were on hand including the current World Champion Cody King, Ryan Cavalieri, Adam Drake, Mike Truhe, Ryan Maifield, Travis Amezcua, Dylan Rodriguez, Richard Saxton, and Steve Hartson.  The layout started out smooth and high speed, but by the end of the weekend is was very technical and rough.  It was Adam Drake who dominated the event by winning three classes.<br />
<br />
In the 1/8th electric class Drake had problems in both rounds of qualifying stripping two plastic spur gears and ended up in the B Main.  Drake won the B Main, but a large margin and started 13th on the grid in the A Main.  In the 10 minute A Main Drake worked his way through the pack, but the leader Hartson was gone until he made a few mistakes which allowed Drake to close, then take the lead and pull a way to more than a 10 second lead.  Drake’s TLR 8ight E 2.0 powered by Tekin electronics and Pro-Line M4 Holeshot 2.0’s was on rails in the final. Adam uses the Tekin Rx8 and 1900 T8 motor to power his TLR winning car.</div>
