you might have put it on too tight, or maybe your engine is too powerful. might wanna look into a steel spur gear.

vizaracer

i put it on alittle tighter than before because it was sliping way to much.

Tighten it all the way down. If you go to www.savage-central.com and read up on what people are doing with thier bigger engines, you will see that guys using Wasp's and Picco's are doing this. With the Sirio I think it is a V.good idea.

i run the picco 26 which makes pretty strong power, running the stock 52 or 49 tooth gear and tighten them all the way down and then off 1/4 turn, and have had no problems. also make sure you are using a friction pad on the spur. one more thing..... your slipper spring may be weak, consider replacing it with that big engineif you have any amount of run time on it. backing it off a 1/4 turn is important though for the harder landings on power to keep some of the stress off you transmission and related components.

i tried that but the gear keeps on melting

bulldogbud

do u know where i can get i think a 44 t steel spur gear?

vizaracer

nope. i have a 48 tooth spur gear

vizaracer, you posted it a while back agao that you got a STEEL spur gear from RR,

Is it the Steel spur gear that u melt??????

vizaracer

nope. it was the plastic. this is an old post. i have the RR set now and it works perfectly fine. no more melting!

this post goes back to 3/20

skyneverdie

did you tight all the way down?
is there a pad behind the spur gear like the one in plastic?

vizaracer

no it doesnt come with one. you have to get one. i tightened mine all the way down.

My Kong's kept Eating stock Gears. Replaced with RR Steel, Much better, Gear looks like it wobbles alittle but it seems to drive fine with it.

vizaracer
