APPLICATION: WORKS WITH SAVAGE 21 RTR, 25 RTR, & 25 SS

Now available from HPI Racing is a new Light Weight Idler Gear for the middle transmission of the Savage line of trucks. This 29 tooth gear is machined from steel, a thinner profile and lightening holes provide a 38% weight savings over the stock gear! This is a direct replacement part for the stock gear.

This light weight gear replaces the stock idler gear (HPI86098).

TECH TIP: Most everyone knows that lowering the weight of any vehicle can enhance performance, but did you know that lowering driveline weight can have a stronger effect on overall performance? By lowering rotational mass in a transmission and elsewhere in the driveline, the engine is able to spin up the lighter driveline faster and accelerate the whole truck quicker!

RECOMMENDATION: If you want maximum performance benefits, it is a good idea to lighten up the whole driveline as much as possible. While you have the transmission taken apart, you might want to consider replacing several of the driveline components with lighter upgrade parts. We try to stock the following lightweight Savage driveline components... to see these items use the SEARCH at the top of any page to search on the listed part numbers:
