Striped slipper gear

[-SaVaGe X-]

well i stripped my slipper gear today i didnt even drive for 1 minute and it was stripped. now for the questions. What would have caused this??and what does this dial do on my transmitter would this have caused my slipper gear to strip??i say that because i was fidling with it rite before it stripped.

the dial says St. D/R

thats steering Dual Rate, it should change the limits of steering lock, and should have nothing to do with the stripped spur, have a look at the spur and post up a pic or a little more info, that should help diagnosis.

make sure your motor mount bolts are tight along w/ the motor mount plate check for any broken parts and replace.

By the way it sounds, u have a gear mesh problem !

could have slipped yess use locktight on the motor mounts

which one would be better red or blue locktite??

 

[Jeremy]

red is stronger, but it might be too strong, I used it on only a cupple screws on my savage, because it stripps out everything when I try to remove the screw, blue is good that should work well !

great!!!! thx a lot i will go out tommorow and get some

Hey, SJ. Red lock-tite will break down with the hot tip of a soldering iron on the bolt heads before you break'em loose. May not be practical at the track but, works great at the work bench. a butane solder torch is good outdoors with no AC available,

 

[Jeremy]

never thought of that good tip.
