give it a try, i wouldnt mind seeing some testing done, but my bet would be that the power of the flux destroys the 3-speed in short time.
the savage transmission is a fairly weak design.
good point. i saved the screws and if this becomes an issue then i'll go the "shave & screw" method (lol, anyone?).
@ mickey- you notice a lot of difference with the additional 3cc in the baja?
i never used the screw and washer on the fronts, just the e-clip and it holds fine.
the screw binds the carrier on the hpi version also so i didnt use it.
that totally sucks. i wonder if its the head gasket. they say that its a very common occurrence with the 2-bolters.
if it comes down to it, you can have the used 23cc that came off my son's used baja. just swap over your pull starter. its used, but fires right up. just pay shipping.
theyre worth it so long as you mesh them right.
can you show a pic of your spur gear?
also, check your clutchbell bearings & then your motor mount and plate to make sure nothing is cracked or bent.
hi lyle, not yet i been busy with my baja and my son's needs a complete tear down. also putting a fence in my yard so I'm not sure i'll get to painting for a bit.
