Lets fix the Savage Transmission

[lincpimp]

I guess this can be my next savvy mod after I have figured out the cen arms/hubs/cvds and the lst2 stuff...

Nothing is going to be 100% drop in, so set your punch control for 90% and run 4s lipo if you want the stock flux stuff to last...

I find the humore that after everything is said and done that a bunch of us will have more than 1k in a savage, when a 500 buck cen genesis might just be a better starting point. Stick a 1717, MMM, and 6s in that beast, basically an overbuilt savage anyways.

I will continue my savvy mods, just cause they are fun. Got the hingepin braces made, just need the trunbuckles and a suitable motor and my 15" wb savvy will be ready to roll.

Maybe... I did consider one before I got my original Savage; but parts support sucks for it, so I decided not too..

But really isn't modding the trucks and cars what most of us at rc-monster's forums are about? :)

Yes it is! That is why I will continue modding my trucks!

If this STP oil trick fixes the tranny, I don't think there's much of anything else to worry about on this truck. It will be very low maintenance!

Getting a straight answer out of HPI is like pulling teeth, but I would really like to know why they left those two junk gears in there.
