reverse modul upgrade

[coolhandcountry]

I took the savage out this weekend.
I tried the new savage x slipper as well.
The X slipper is great. It held to well though.
I need to upgrade the reverse modul or run a forward only.
I like to have reverse. I think it may be done though.
I rung the input shaft going in the modul.
Does anyone now if there is an upgrade for this part?
I will test it more with out reverse to see if the rest is strong enough.
The power is great.
I was happy with the speed if could drive it straight.
I will have to test further and see what happens.

Leroy, i dont know if HPI or any body makes a hardened or stronger part for the reverse module. As i dont know how that part looks in the savage tranny, maybe mike could put somthing together for you?

Leroy, there is no heavy duty part for the reverse module.

[coolhandcountry]

Well i guess it is forward only then. Thanks rene. Well I got the forward only shaft back in it now. I guess i see what else will break or shear.

I hate it without reverse, does the tranny dis-engage reverse? Electric doesnt matter if it is FOC tranny? Right?

[coolhandcountry]

Well the electric and nitro work the same on the savage.
With the three speed and mechinal brakes it only works one way.
So no reverse now. I think it be ok. If it don't go thru it around it. I guess the nest thing is over it. :D

You cant go over a fence or a tree ;)

Stunt man! Leroy, isnt that past your 5 post per day limit? ;)

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if anything new is out for the Savage reverse module? I keep breaking them in my BL Savage X and it's driving me crazy. I like to have reverse, but it is a pain! I wonder if Mike could make something? But what would help?

Hi,
i like savage truck,
but reverse modul it's like s...t. not durable and more heavy.
if you want reverse and ESC brake i have a idea, you can try it.
you can lock 2 speed gear, look like my picture.


hope you know my word.

Looks like a good idea. I was thinking of locking the one way bearing on my 3 speed with JB Weld. Would this hold up? Or would a roll pin run through the whole hub be better?
