HPI Savage Hardened Ring Gear Hard Steel SSAV1201 by GPM  [SSAV1201]

Hardened ring gear for Savage drivetrains

An aftermarket hard steel ring gear intended for HPI Savage, Savage X and Savage XL models. This unit replaces the softer stock ring to give a tougher mating surface in the RC truck drivetrain, suited to hobby-level bashing and spirited trail runs rather than full-size applications.

When fitting SSAV1201, verify spur and pinion alignment and set correct backlash to ensure a smooth gear mesh. The gear is designed to fit the original gearbox layout, but inspect mesh and bearings after the first few runs to catch any abnormal wear or misalignment early.

For tuning and heavy-use scenarios, a hardened ring gear helps maintain consistent contact under repeated impacts and higher loads, though proper setup with the spur gear and bearings remains essential for long-term reliability.

A practical durability upgrade for the listed Savage variants, this ring gear targets improved wear resistance and should be installed with careful attention to gear mesh and bearing condition.
