Can you post a photo of the fried gear? May help diagnosing your issue.
If you liked the low end power and high end speed, then stick with the same tooth count. If durability is an issue, can try a steel one, but may need to replace the bell as well to get a HD bell that can stand up to a steel spur.

Looks like your mesh could have been a bit tighter, but if it's getting that hot, it is probably melting your spur when you sit, then when you hit the gas, it tears off the teeth it's touching, then rips through the rest.
Might want to try gearing down a bit and looking into an aluminum clutch.

I run that in my bb revo and my savage. Has been holding up just fine.
In my OS21TM revo though, I was stuck using 1/10th scale as I couldn't move the trans forward since I'm running steel MIP centers on it. I did install an integy 7075 2 shoe and it seems to be holding up well so far. Puts the power to the tires really well compared to stock composite.
