12 teeth is pretty low. What buggy are you putting it in and how many teeth on your spur?

I use HPI Race vented CB on my Hyper 8 pro and Hyper 8.5 pro but I think the smallest they make is 12 or 13 teeth. I use the 13 teeth on my Hypers. I all so use the HPI Race vented CB on my Savage and MT. If you want more punch or bottom end power you want to go smaller on the CB or bigger on the spur. For top end it is just the opposite.

FWIW HPI bells Suck...they are too short and cause the bottom of the shoes to show if you dont shim it properly....i would recommend a Ofna vented bell..the 3 vent not 4....its a deeper bell and makes shimming alot easier and imo its better quality.

On my Savage I have 9 plus gallons on the same CB and ran 8 gallons on my Hyper 8 before changing and still had life in it but the Ofna will be fine as well. Just make sure what ever you get is a hardened CB.

I just check a Ofna, Hobao and HPI CB and they are all the same thickness.

IF the thickness was the issue...i would have stated it.....its the depth....its Alot shorter then a Ofna.

Yes 12t is about as low as you can get. Id try some aluminum shoes, thats assuming you have carbon shoes.

Yes I was talking depth but I guess I do not need to count on my old eyes as I stuck a caliper on it and it is about .040 less then the Ofna. I do not have a problem with the HPI shimmed properly but to be on the safe side get a Hobao or Hong nor.
