NEWS and UPDATES:

GCM is offering 2 fully tested DesertBoy Chassis conversions in 15.6 XL Savage length and in 17.6 inch wheelbase versions (measured at the diffs). All the capabilities of the great Flux, but with the addition of the GCM only revisions in balance and handling that will be sure to change your wheelie monster in to a ground ripping fun machine. Check it out at the links below. We are also developing a full DesertBoy 1/5 SC conversion to compliment the DB chassis lineup for covered wheel offroading. Stay tuned for the developments of this Savage Beast, and we will be sure to post updates as the project grows.

Been 'Fluxed'? This monster offering from HPI Racing is sure to please. A strong, capable and fast 1/8 scale truck with a history of strength and parts support trailing behind. This truck is a long time contender in the Monster Truck class racing and a huge hit with the basher crowd alike. Now it's even better. Here are some of the GCM offerings specifically for the Savage Flux.

2010 UPDATE: All our stock is now a direct bolt on setup.. includes a top steering brace, and does not require a motor plate mod or any other changes to stock equipment. We also now have available a new DesertBoy-17 Mid Battery Tray Floor kit that will make internal battery mounting a breeze. See the DB-17 page for info.

All DesertBoy Kits include a full set of NEW center hardened steel dogbones, top steering post mount, and hex screw kit.
