Tug Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Tug will be unfamiliar with the stock alloy gear that came with the older flux's....you went straight to CD didn't you? Stock alloy gear was prone to spontaneous disappearance, the older HP's came with a hardened one, about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Do you mean "the newer ones came with a hardened one"? Yes, I skipped having a gearbox and went CD. I wanted a Savvy that could handle a few turns! so I should look for a newer gear from a savvy hp..not a 2350 model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yeah, but not because I was aware of a problem. I just like Centre diffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fornowagain Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The stock #86097 is steel (just not very good), but yeah the HD one #102514 is hardened and machined. Can't imagine anyone using the alloy #86097. like butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tingtong333 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Mine is exactly the same Mike, a bit sloppy. In fact there is loose play all over (wheels, steering). I think I'll have to invest in a full set of bearings as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
