Savage 3-speed Transission

[eartaker]

Has anyone installed one of these yet. It came pre assembled and was wondering if I should add some oil to it

 

[HeartBreak]

I have one, and no; run that puppy DRY. Maybe a little graphite powder (contact FastEddy about that) on the gears, but nothing more!

 

[eartaker]

odd, you would think some gear grease or something

 

[SMaxxin]

I also run one...NO GREASE!

 

[FastEddy]

Yes you should run it dry.
If you want to add a little more protection, you can soak the gears in some "Dry Ice"

Once they are dry, put everything back together and run like you stol it.

Let us know how you like the 3 speed.

well I'm new and you guys have been around a bit so.... she will go in dry lol I will look into the Dry Ice. I can't wait to put it all together... I also Ordered the Axial .32 engine for my Savage. only $179! Do you think I will have to change anything out due to the added power?

You are definetly going to have to change your driving style because the .32 packs a punch and you will be popping wheelies and prob starting to hate wheelies after your first couple bash sessions. I would go ahead and get a new spur gear and the 3 speed if it were me.

Thats not necessarily true....after many years of wheelies I still like them and make sure my rc has the power to do them....Not everyone hates wheelies

 

[thekonz]

True true. I just find them frustrating when I'm trying to race someone.

hmm, but no drive terrain parts?
