HPI Savage / Savage X / Savage XL Hard Steel Ring Gear by GPM SSAV1201  [SSAV1201]

Hard steel ring gear for Savage series

This is an aftermarket, RC-scale hard steel ring gear designed for HPI Savage, Savage X and Savage XL platforms. It replaces the stock ring gear to offer a harder mating surface in the drivetrain, intended for hobby use on model trucks and buggies rather than full-size vehicles.

When retrofitting this ring gear, check alignment and backlash with the existing spur and pinion to ensure smooth engagement. The part is intended to integrate with the vehicle's original gearbox layout, and routine inspection after the first few runs is advised to confirm proper mesh and to detect any abnormal wear patterns.

For tuning, a harder steel ring gear can stabilize contact under higher loads and repeated impacts common in off-road bashing and competitive short-course driving, while still requiring correct setup in relation to the spur gear and bearings.

Suitable for scale RC drivetrain reinforcement on the listed Savage variants, this ring gear is primarily a durability-oriented replacement part and should be installed with attention to gear mesh and bearing condition.
