Savage XL pinion Question
I took my diff apart and i am missing 4 teeth on the pinion gear! my question is everyone and even hpi's sight say it"s a 9 tooth gear but i count 13 teeth. Are the front and rear geared differently or is the 9 tooth pinion gear off of an x or am i counting it wrong? The picture on hpi"s sight i count 9 teeth from the picture also! Confused!

RE: Savage XL pinion Question
The older diffs before the recent refresh of the line used 13t pinions. The refreshed line now uses the Flux's diffs which are 29/9.
This ([link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDLD3&P=7]http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDLD3&P=7[/link]) is the 13 tooth pinion part that goes with your 43t diff ring (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDLD2&P=7). You could upgrade to the Flux diffs, but would need to do both the front and rear, and thats this part (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXYDN6&P=ML). The Flux diffs are definetly beefier and less prone to breakage than the older Savage diffs.
