Slipper clutch broken
 

Ok I broke in my savage yesterday and started hitting the dirt today and jumping it off my friends ramp. It was a lot of fun and I did my first back flip :D but my slipper clutch has been flattened and striped so what would be a good replacement? Or are they all the same also what would be a good upgrade to make my car have more acceleration with out loosing to much top speed. Also if I am going to be jumping my savage a lot more what parts should I up to improve strength and still be light?

1st try to let off the throttle right before you hit the ground. 2nd tighten the slipper to fully tight then loosen it about 1/8th a turn. HPI makes a lightweight steal gear set. I like steal cause it WON'T break.

I try to let off the gas but gunning it all the way is a bad habbit. But this steel gear things what are they and what one of them do I need with them? Also what dose 49T and stuff mean?

TY for your help

The spur gear has 49 teeth. The more or less teeth will determin your gear ratio. A 47 tooth spur and a 20 tooth pinion will create a high top speed but your low end power will suffer. Where as a 52 tooth spur and a 13 tooth pinion will create a strong low end but the top speed will suffer. As far as the steel gear goes, just go to www.towerhobbies.com and check em out.

Ok i kinda get it but what is a pinnion and what should I get with the Spur gear and is that what I need to replace the slipper clutch?

TY and sry for all the questions

The pinion is the clutchbell. The spur gear just needs pulled off and swapped with the new one. If you buy a steel spur get a spur gear/clutchbell kit. Without a hardened clutchbell you'll just strip the teeth on the stock clutchbell.
