Default HPI A820 or A824 clutch bell on a VX18 2spd???

Hi, Can someone please tell me if any of these 2spd HPI clutch bells would work/fit a 2spd tornado VX.18 using the standard 2 spd gear set up from the Tornado buggy.. By this i mean that i want to use the standARD housing and gears that come with the 2spd buggy.. attached is the image of the clutch bell in question. any help or advise would be greatly appreciated!

thats and 11/14 bell, i think its not enough of a difference, the stock is a 16/21, there is a 13/18 and 17/22 you can use. those have a 5 tooth difference, yours is on a 3 tooth and may give you a problem, get the 13/18

thanks ehroof.. I think the A824 = 15/21 would be the best option.. So will these gear up with the standard mesh from the 2spd set up?

no, the a825 is perfect, 13/18 its 5 tooth difference, you can use the 15/21 its ony 1 tooth difference but not more than that, 2 or 3 tooth difference would be too much and you may rip out the gears.
