It all depends on how much hassle you want to go through in repairing the car. If you get the fully assembled transmission all you have to do is take the old one out and put the new one in, which is about a 10 minute job. If you get the gears you have to take apart the transmission, replace the gear, and then put the tranny back together. Now, you will learn a lot about your tranny if you get the gear and replace just that, which is probably something that you should do at least once, just to know how much of a pain it can be. As for what caused it to strip out, it probably was something that got stuck in there, be it a rock or small branch or something. I would keep the hole in the bottom open, because while it allows stuff to get in, it also allows stuff to get out. As for getting the tranny try www.topspeedtoys.com they are a great site that has all the parts for the redcat and himoto cars.
