You have to run a hardened bell with a steel spur, and failures then woud be the result of either a defective part or bad meshing.

I've never run a steel spur in the Savage, but I would go with the HPI racing setup if I decided to.

Steel spur set up work very nice if they are set up correctly. I have two Robinson Racing sets that I run sometimes.
Yeah if you don't run a hardened bell or set your mesh right you will have problems.

I run an HPI steel spur with a HPI racing clutchbell and they work great. Don't use the locktite that comes with the spur, use some good stuff....trust me.[]

I also run the hpi steel spur, when I dropped my 457 in my X I had a tough time getting my vented cb off my 4.1 and it ended up in 2 pieces. I now run a robinson hardened cb with the steel spur and all's well.

I have the steel spur gear and it has been running fine for about a gallon. Make sure your mesh is correct. It will be fine as long as you run a racing clutch bell. You also want to check your mesh after you land a jump upside down.

I have the HPI steel one, the older sort... It is pretty good. some say it limits performance, but I bash so that isn't a problem for me.

Stock plastic spur with HPI race CB works just fine for me.

The steel spur migth be ehavier than the titanium one but it will last longer. Titanium is stronger than steel but not harder
