to fix the problem.

and taking the slipper out of the equation is going to pass the blame to your diffs on the next failure. People dont usually run slippers on 8th scale cars because the drivelines are darn near bulletproof.

the savage has always been known to have weak diffs... so your choice... set the slipper up right with a rebuild or pay for new diff gears. 3 dollars or 40 dollars.

Rebuild the slipper (replacement spring / washer / nut set is only $7) and replace the pad, tighten it up all the way then reinstall on the car, then hold the pinion and tighten it a tad more using a 7mm ring spanner as that tighten it some more

That has worked fine for me.

Don't think that is the problem...

The nut doesn't comes loose, only the pad just fries....

I'm going to screw it, an slipper is worthless with a high powerfull BL machine...

I've tried different designs spurs, savage style and savage x style slipper, nothing worked so that i can run twice with a pad...

Joram

IMO your problems with the spur is telling you there is a problem somewhere else, and the spur failing has been the equivilent to a fuse in an electrical circuit. A cheaper part failing to keep more expensive damage from happening, and any part can fail including a CEN diff

Slipper clutches weren't meant to be worthless. This result just means the Savage X slipper is worthless

Another more expensive alternative is a center diff. If you go this route you won't need a slipper clutch, but your drivetrain will be protected well still.

It will, just will require some custom pieces to make it fit. That's why I mentioned it would be a more expensive option

Several have installed a center diff into their Savages, I am on of them:
