Make sure you have hardened steel spur gear and clutchbell, and the newest bulletproof diffs. Other than that you MAY have a issue with the smaller 2nd gear plastic gear in the transmission. If it strips, I believe they make a steel version for that as well. I personally have never stripped the larger one

What differentials it has will depend on what model of savage you have. However the transmissions all have the plastic gears on the middle rack

I'm honestly not sure. I believe they sell a delrin set but I have never upgraded them my self so it is a little beyond my knowledge

Like I said the only one Ive ever stripped is the 2nd gear one. And it takes quite some abuse to do so

I run an LRP30 in my X and the trans has held up fine. I've busted center dog bones a few times on less than stellar landings.
I have sintered BP diffs/alloy cups, SuperHD bones/tended outer axles as well. Even sintered, the BP diffs are miles better than the older smaller tooth ones, even the machined ones. The only thing I have to keep an eye on is the thin bearing (10x16) for the cup side as it likes to grenade. When that happens, if you don't catch it quick, it will cause damage to the ring/pinion because the diff flops around.
