Savage XL-E

[Janezki]

* Added some detailed pictures to project pics.

Savage03: After the somewhat total destruction on test drive #2 on 3 speed (which lasted about 30 secs and trashed idler & main gear), I locked the transmission to second with super epoxy. Also, all the unused gears and excessive sideplay from the remaining ones was removed, so I suppose it'll hold up now...
Using motor brake and have reverse now.

here's the current state of the tranny (that's not water, it's grease):



locked gear:



47t spur gives plenty of gearing options, with the stock spur I could fit only 15t pinion max.





MTBikerTim: No special tricks, I just drilled few 4mm holes to the original motor plate and widened them so I can adjust the mesh.
I'm using only two screws to hold that mount on it's place, mainly because the center rear driveshaft and the openings at the motor plate came into way.

BL_RV0: Thanks. Beautiful but COLD, if I may say...
