Ya; it goes ok. More width would be good, but as they were they certainly worked much better than just 23mm or 24mm hubs for the Savage.

But speaking of, I'd still like to know what it'd be to do up a set of 24mm hubs for my RC8T. ;)

Problem is I'd have to get the rears. I'll definitely keep it in mind though.

I was testing some motors for a vendor so I go the Flux 5B out.

Ran different combos and had it dialed in...then..................... it stopped....

Got to finally get it apart and found this rattle can

Opened it up to find this...




But where are the teeth???



Oh, there they are.




Here's the failed parts. Surprisingly there was no other damage.

I think you broke it.
Nice looking savage / buggy.

Thanks...I just wasn't sure if the gears were supposed to look like that...

Ordered the upgraded gears. Then back to having fun...

Only if you spilt some invisible paint on them.

So I got my parts and installed them. Upgraded all the gears and I PUT GREASE IN THERE...

How has she been running since the gear swap?

Only got to run it one time but what a world of difference.

I was going to sell it but now I have new found love for this thing...
