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

Hardened steel ring for Savage models

This aftermarket ring gear is crafted for HPI Savage, Savage X and Savage XL platforms to replace the stock unit with a harder steel option. It provides a stiffer contact surface in the gearbox for hobby trucks and buggies that see frequent off-road impacts.

When installing SSAV1201, confirm the spur and pinion mesh and set backlash correctly to prevent uneven wear. The part is made to work within the original gearbox arrangement, and a brief inspection after initial runs is recommended to verify correct engagement.

In tuning scenarios, a hard steel ring can hold mesh under higher torque and repetitive shock loads, but it still relies on correct spur alignment and healthy bearings to perform well.

Ideal as a longevity-focused replacement for the listed Savage variants, this ring gear is aimed at hobbyists wanting a more wear-resistant drivetrain tooth surface; proper setup is key.
