You really need to usea temp gun and let the temps tell you how to gear your car with the following general limits:
Battery < 120°
ESC < 140°
Motor < 160°
hot battery = replace with higher C rated pack
hot motor + cool ESC = under geared
hot ESC + cool motor = over geared
hot everything = WAY over geared
Start with your stock gearing and then go from there... also keep in mind that driving surface conditions, tires, worn bearings etc all effect your temps... always check your temps just like a 1:1 car has a temp gauge to tell you the overall health of your system.
Remember, a temp gun is the single most important tool to own in this hobby.

will it still fit with the spur gear well though?

My Feedback: (1)
As long as both spur and pinion are of the same PITCH (tooth size), any pinion will "work" on any spur. Whether that gives you the best gear ratio or not then depends on the size of your wheel-tire combo, the motor you're running, and the terrain you're running on. Usual recommendation is to start with stock gearing, then go up or down a couple teeth on the pinion. Changing pinions means you'll need to reset the mesh of the pinion to the spur by loosening the motor mount screws and moving the motor so the pinion is closer or farther from the spur. Setting mesh too loose can result in stripped spur teeth. Too tight, and the motor bearing will be stressed.
