hi all,
Sorry if this has already been covered in another thread but I had a little search and couldn’t find an answer..
I have two problems here. Firstly I shall say that my savage x 4.6 is only used for bashing and it takes quite a beating so I expect to break things but this is getting a bit silly now.
When running stock HPI plastic spur gear and heavy duty clutch bell after a while I end up with a spur gear like this! All shredded and almost looks melted?!
I then switched to a hpi steel spur gear with the same heavy duty clutch bell and it just strips the clutch bells! At £15 a pop I don’t really want to be using a clutch Bell every time I go out, sometimes it’s only lasting 30mins before it’s stripped again!
I don’t think it’s down to the mesh being wrong as I always spend the time to get that perfect mesh.
I have thought maybe the engine is moving when landing hard and rolling ect but the spur and clutch bell seem to strip sometimes when I haven’t even jumped it yet?!
Over to you guys!
Am I using the correct gears? Is there anything that better? Is there a way to stabilise the engine for bashing?
Thanks in advance!
