Its arrived

well after probably the longest 5 week wait its here, my new savage X. :D
I've already put two tanks thought I and cant wait untill tomorrow when I can take it out and start to get it broken in.

ive noticed that the spur gear runs wonky as it spins, like a buckled bike wheel :confused: . is this ok? I was thinking of re-mounting it, do you think I should?

[Droogmole SS 4.6!]

you can always try...but i don't think its much of a problem.. depends on how much it wobbles mine does it to but its not much and i don't really notice anything of it when i'm driving

[RAZORROGERS]

also check your gear mesh mate there out from factory set up

[HPI_Savage25]

yeah mine was fine when i got it (25 RTR) and didn't ave the problem until a screw to the motor mount came out!

[RAFF113]

id check your spur mine went on me after 4 tanks on breakin on my x also check all your screws r tight , it suppose to be a problem on the x

hmm.. i've got my savvy for almost 4months now and i haven't replaced a spur yet...bin drinving and bashiong the ***out of it but it just won't die...but my bevels and diff gear are letting me down most of the times
already broken them twice.. and now i have to till i have monet again to buy new ones

[spud]

Cheers for all the advice. I tried to re mount the spur but it didn't change the wobble but it running fine and isn't showing any unusual wear. i've done 9 tanks now and starting to get my first wheelies :D .
savage rocks :D :D :D

hey spud, where are you running your savvy? anywhere good down there by the sea?

[spud]

im going to finish the basic tuning up at parker school as its really flat and there is a couple of small jumps there. im definatly going to go to the beach near galley hill as there are some cliffs for hill climbing.
oh and you will be pleased to know i only got screwed a little for import charges, my x came in at just under £320 so made a little saving on buying in the uk :D

Nice, at least the tax wasn't too bad. let us know how it runs along the pebbles on the beach mate.
