Stripped spur gear on my Savage X. What should I upgrade to?

[GLISEON]

just recently slipped my spur gear. (Possibly loose engine mounts or mesh wasn't good)
Anyways I'd like to know what's the ideal teeth for a spur gear just to get regular performance. Any spur gears in particular I should look into? I definitely want a metal one. Should I upgrade the clutch bell as well?

Thank you.

On my stock nitro i used a 47 tooth spur and yes youll needto change the clutch bell if you go hardened steel. I went with the robinson racing gen 3 spur and clutch bell works amazing.

If you don't want to spend the money for the gen 3 slipper, many find the 48/16 combo to be perfect.

Both spur and clutch bell for less than the price of the gen 3 slipper.

The engine, tires, terrain, transmission, clutch and personal preference dictate the gearing you should use.

I run HPI steel 47 spur and HPI HD 17 bell on my X with an LRP30, alloy clutch shoes, 2 speed trans and traxxas 3.8 geodes with traxxas t-maxx 3.3 tires. Not quite as big and bulky as 40's, but not as small as 3.2's. I find them to be a happy middle ground. I get easy wheelies all day long and it does pretty good in the grass with that gearing. It could pull taller gearing on pavement, but I spend most of my time in the grass.
