Your issue is either the gear mesh or the slipper adjustment.
Ill suggest you read up on both before attempting to run it again
 
it has only happend to my once but if only had the "savage X" for three days now and it has been tuned. It going to cost me £7 to replace the spur gear, but I got a metal spur gear with the car and it is smaller in width and I'm not so sure to put on or to replace it with another one, but if i did use the metal one can i still go off-road using it?
 
If you replace it with a metal one, you should get a hardened CB as well. A hardened steel spur will tear through a non-hardened CB in a matter of a few minutes.

This was after 3/4 of a tank with an RCS spur and a HPI savage CB:

That was with a low powered OS 21 RG in my t-maxx.

$20.

Use this search at tower, I use these OFNA bells: OFNA Hardened bell

The spur I was running against was an RC Solutions, not RRP spur... I mis-referenced. RCS makes a 1M pitch spur for the t-maxx so you can use an 1/8 scale clutch system with a BB kit.
 
i went to the shop to get the part for my car and they said check if your clutch is not to tight or to slack, and its not reccommend that to get a new metal one, normaly when the plastic spur gear one gets threaded they say that if it happend with the metal one it would do something to the engine or possably break the engine. But i don't know why the savage x (mine) get's a metal spur gear with it?
 
were are you based weres warrigntin isit uk
