Well the engine that was in it was the purple HPI but in the tote below it had a bereally used axial .28 in it which works just fine. The make over is going to include new tires, possible a new body haven't decided yet.Wow great find I wish I had found that one very clean looking rig.
Way ahead of you, I'm running the HPI 86807(SPUR)w/ 77106(CLUTCH BELL) WHICH IS VENTED, so i did my HOMEWORK!!!! I WILL PREPAIR FOR EXTREAM BASHING WAH HA HA HA HABe sure to use the hardened vented clutch bells from HPI or another hardened version. The factory HPI ones will not last long on a steel spur.
I always had good luck with plastic spurs, but I stripped one yesterday and I am considering going steel now as well (I already have a racers edge TiNi clutchbell, but not sure if it can handle a steel spur?)
Trust me, go with the HPI 77106, its vented and made of the hardend still.Be sure to use the hardened vented clutch bells from HPI or another hardened version. The factory HPI ones will not last long on a steel spur.

Robinson Racing makes some really nice hardened clutch bells and an awesome gen 3 slipper spur.Trust me, go with the HPI 77106, its vented and made of the hardend still.

UPDATE ON SAVAGE X REBIULD... I just installed a rear NEW differential WITH THE REAR LOCK OUT FOR WHEELIES and I plan on getting another differential to replace the one in the front haven't decided if I'm gonna get a new body for it yet....And by the way sweet deal. Especially since it came with extra engine, nice!
I ended up going down to 47/17. 47/18 was ok when running on flat stuff, but was a bit too tall for offroad bashing/jumping.For me, I couldn't keep a plastic spur alive with my LRP28. The center would melt out if I geared higher than 49/16. Was too much strain on the slipper and it would slip within a tank or two of fuel after taking it off, roughing it up with sand paper. Even with a fully compressed spring. It would heat up so fast that I'd melt the center of the spur out.
Now, with my LRP30 and the HPI steel 47T spur I'm running 47/18 and it's working just fine. May up it to 47/19 if it will fit as the 30 is just a wheelie monster.
