Guess i can get a whole new tranny...the gears in this one can be parts scavenge? Lol

 

[J.LO's SAVAGE X]

thast not a motor I'm familiar with, may be hpi, if it is its old!

 

[J.LO's SAVAGE X]

Looks like someone sold you a canoworms, only one thing left now is to completely tear it down clean EVERYTHING and find and fix all the headaches before trying to run it any more......

Picked it up for 250. Not a bad deal on a savage x. Came with a digital remote... aluminum frame... dual oil shocks all the way around... "upgraded" 3 speed tranny

I paid $120 for my Savage X and had to do it all up my way, it was a box of parts anyway and had been run hard and put away wet as yours seems to have been.... I am a restorer at heart anyway so I didnt mind it being in pieces....
I am well satisfied as to how mine came out.....

I plan on cleaning it up before running it again. Hope it doesn't need much else other than a tranny. Seems to run strong.

 

[J.LO's SAVAGE X]

yes I like getting basket cases if priced well , build how you want it and know what you have

 

[J.LO's SAVAGE X]

yeah, I work in a auto body shop and do the painting so I like to tinker, gives me something to do

 

[J.LO's SAVAGE X]

that's good hopefully, you can run it all summer and upgrade it when you want.

Be nice to pick up a Tranny cheap and run it a bit. Hate to get a 100$ one and have a similar failure. Id be pissed!

With parts being hard to find right now that might be difficult. But hopefully one of us members have none laying around that he or she would be willing to part with cheap. If your gears turn out to be trashed.

Gears look good..case is shot. Might need a new bearing kit

 

[NightFlier X4.6]

Then id find a case get a bearing kit test it and keep on it.

 

[J.LO's SAVAGE X]

you could pick up a case cheap on ebay for the tranny, for around 10 to 15 . your gears look fine.

 

[J.LO's SAVAGE X]

ok, for cheap reasons I think you have a savage 25 transmission , there is a savage 25 case on ebay right now for about 5.00 plus shipping, seems to be the cheapest way right now and fastest. if you live near a hovvy shop they would have bearings. or look on line
