Hpi savage x 4.6 spur gear upgrade

[Zane Lewis]

Hey, I have ordered a metal 49T spur gear and I was wondering if the stock slipper clutch would work with it or would I have to order a different one

 

[upbasher1]

It should work just fine as long as you ordered the one for your model of savage. Theres two different styles as far as I know. The older one that has the gear and then just the spring and nut, and then the newer one which has the slipper plates on both sides of the gear. Post the link to what you bought

And also post a pic of the spur gear already on the truck

It’s pretty stripped

Have you tested this truck to see if it runs?

Yeah it runs great! It revs and all that but it won’t go forward because of the spur gear stripped

It sounds good man. Make sure you put an air filter on that thing before you take it outside lol

Loosen up that small black set screw and it should wiggle out. Make sure you use the right size wrench, those little guys like to strip out very easily

Thanks that worked. Man I tell you what this engine is really dirty! Glad I went ahead and pulled it out

 

[upbasher1]

They get VERY crusty from sitting a lot. Spiolling fuel on it when filling it up doesnt help either lol

Lots of people swear by that brand.... I find most any 1/8 scale big block type will work well if you keep it clean....

if you have the stock HPI housing assembly you can just buy replacement foams and oil them up with K&N airfilter oil

I have ordered a metal 49T spur gear

Here it is I ordered it on Ebay part #76939 49T

I hate to break it to you but that is a stock 49 tooth plastic spur gear.

your best bet would be to purchase a Robinson Racing Products steel spur gear & clutch bell set....

I have replaced the spur gear now it won’t rev when I pull the throttle

 

[upbasher1]

does the throttle slide open? Linkage attached?

I fixed it now but thanks don’t know how I did it just had to mess around with the linkage

Can I ask which metal spur gear I should order for my Savage 4.6 gt-6 V2 as my plastic gear shredded ? Please post a link if allowed.

Just get the RR spur and clutch bell, it will never strip, just make sure to get new slipper pads and the hardened bell set, the stock bell gear is not hardened enough and it WILL get eaten if you use a stock clutch bell

Hi Gents does anyone know where I can get the HPI Savage X 4.6 GEN3 Slipper Unit? Everywhere I look was out of stock. Also what else would I need to complete the assembly. Lock Nutes, Spring, wassers?

[Seanthemechanic]

There’s one

 

[Okkie]

Thanks for the reply, Seanthemechanic. But the link is to the original plastic Spear gear design, which we all know is not reliable. The moment the plastic starts deforming, it reduces friction and increases slippage, consequently generating heat to the point where the gear's functionality diminishes. The one I'm looking for is Robinson Racing: "HPI Savage X 4.6 GEN3 Slipper Unit" http://www.robinsonracing.com/catalog/savage46.html
