New 3 speed clicking

[icky2g]

I just got and installed this new assembled 3 speed for my savage. I have a Picco 26 with a 13T bell, 47T spur. After I installed it I took it out for a run. After a few blast up and down my paved street, I notice there is a clicking sound coming from the trans when moving backwards,and sometimes forward, with the motor off. It dosent make any noise or anything when driving, just when moved the drivetrain has a sort of poping. Just looking for an idea before I pull this all back apart again.

could be your brake making that noise or your drive cups could be worn causing the problem

I don't think its my brake , I thought it was that at first. When you roll the truck you can feel it sort of tighten before the pop/click. And its not always, if I roll it forward then back it will go away, but then do it again and its back. I am going to tear it down anyway to change the 1 to 2nd shift.

I agree with Site. I had the same problem with mine. I have a STS D28M and was running a 47tspur/14tclutch combo. With the gear mesh set perfect, the clutch bell rubs up against the brake disk. I am also running the duel disk brake setup from HPI. You might wanna check that too. Just some input from one of my problems.

I just bought another used savage X, and I notice it also has the same issue. I notice it more when turning on my new one. It deff is coming from some sort of metal hanging on metal. I'm thinking it can just be worn cups.
