Thats not one of Mike's pinions is it? :oh:

It can't be ?? Thats a Novak or some elses gear .

I can't say for sure if it was a rcm pinion, but I can't fault it. I kind of neglected to dry and wd40 it after driving it in wet, salty and ice melt chems. Check out the set screw it was a small bolt hanging out too far. It rusted and broke off futher complicating the matter. Also I had a somewhat high motor rpm setup on 6s adding to the friction.

Took it out for spin today with the slipperential w/ mod.8 spur. Here are some on-board Ipod nano videos.

Riding a wheelie with the slipperential(100k) was no problem for the 1717:bad:....http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/n...nt=wheelie.flv

Update pics with mod .8 slipperential installed.

new driveshafts or just painted the old ones?

I just painted the old ones _dV, I also added some shrink tube to the ends of the drive shafts to take up play and to insulate for sound.

how does it feel to drive with the slipperential compared to the straight up diff you had before?

Did you run the 1520 yet? How does it compare to the 1717?

With the slipperential I can dial out the wheelies, and smooth out the power supply.

From the small amount of running I did with the 1520 in the Savage-X it was snappy feeling and seamed as capable to move my Savage around as the 1717.


Here is some long range action with the 6s Savage-X17 on Tera-Pins. I am standing next to the camera guy up in some stadium bleachers using a HK2.4 radio system.

Nice range there. Couldn't really get a feel for the Savage from that distance tho.

can you make another set up kie that? How much you want for it? LMK if you can. Thanks

That thing hauls. I can see why you filmed from far away.

I dont think I could drive from that far away.
1) I couldnt see the dang thing, 2) I'd have haul my old butt down there every two minutes to flip it over, then I'd be dead......

that's a bad dude
