Hot Racing Savage X aluminum slipper clutch hup svx4008 for Double Disc slipper
HPI Damper Rubber 33X1.4mm Savage X HPI87243

Thanks for fixing it for me , as for the slipper I was told the double slipper set up was better and I was thinking the plastic spur will save CB's ,so the single would be the better way to go ?
 
its less of a hassle and it last longer and theres nothing wrong with metal spurs just gotta have hd bells and perect mesh.

Thanks for the tip , I just use this one onto it get a good one , I was looking at the RR Gen 3 slipper 50T , I'll go cheak the one's you mentioned , thanks again
 
just get the hpi part for the single part slipper and use hpis metal spurs they come in the popular tooth count just use the hpi racing vented clutch bells with it and your good to go.
 
RPM A Arms, HPI's rollcage for the XL which comes with a LITTLE better fuel tank mounts, IF you are good at jumping (landing on your wheels) and do BIG air jumps then Alum Big bores with Hellfire Alum Caps.
 
today I was doing lube change in the rear diff , inner gears are ok ring gear is ok but the bevel gear had one tooth that was half gone , $65 for two HPI 102692 bulletproof differential diff bevel gear kit , any ony no a cheaper way to go
Thanks for your feed back

No problem. Just eBay the hellfire alum shock caps. Only part of my big bores I break
 
The flux does use the larger XL size cups. I bought mine on ebay also. buy the complete bulkhead/diff assembly and you also get the stronger composite bulkhead housings. Stock nitro savvy housings are nylon.
I did the complete conversion on my X's with no diff problems or broken bones since.
