What bell is it specifically and what spur? I probably have over a gallon on my 17T with the HPI steel spur. It's just an X with a LRP28 in it though, so I can't get on it too hard until it's moving pretty good or it just flips on it's roof. Well... it did until the new t-bonez wheelie bar, but still, when the front end comes up, I let off the gas.
That said, I've gotten many hours out of OFNA hardened bells against steel spurs.

I've used robinson racing with no issues for years.
More importantly though, if you are tearing up a hardened steel bell in an hour something is wrong. Your mesh is likely not set correctly or something in your chassis is damaged causing an imperfect mesh.
Or perhaps you're not letting of the throttle when landing jumps.

Try the Robinson spur and bells, they seem much tougher than any of the other "hardened" gears out there

Famous words from all of us LOL
"The slipper is not slipping."
"The gear mesh is set right."

I seem to remember someone stating that possibly something on your chassis was off.
You're welcome.
It's metal screws going into plastic. It really doesn't take much to loosen them, or strip them.

Since we are in the subject of clutch bells, my 17t clutchbell stripped while I was running it. The bearing went out so it caused the clutch bell to go off alignment.
Would anybody know if 47/16 would fit the savage without modifications? I have a spare 16t clutchbell. I'm only asking before I pull the engine out or decide to order another 17t clutchbell.

I have run 47/16 to 49/18 in my X with no mods.

47/16 requires a steel spur to work. I should have said that in my first post. I ate the teeth off of several plastic spurs but had no problems with a steel one. It was my favorite gearing with the 4.6 and Big Joe tires.

Depends if it's hardened or not. I ran ofna hardened bells for years with steel spurs.

That's a pretty good deal.
