You dont want a steel spur! They only slow you down man. More rotating mass=death to speed/torque. List looks good otherwise. I especially like your wheel/tire choice! Be sure to post pics when you're done!

I would recommend against the steel spur, it is heavy and it is expensive. It does nothing for performance, I would recommend a delrin gear or something else plastic.

QUESTO, don't take all that ScMc said about steel spur gear. It's thru that's more rotating mass but it's so a small difference in final performance that you'll never see the diférence. But you'll have very more reliability.
I've put robinson steel package ( idler gear, spur gear and diff gear) in my rc10gt and i can't see any difference on acceleration and performance, and it's indestructible.
If the steel spur gear was disponible for my MGT, it's official that i would have one on, but now i've the strobe slipper with Ofna spur and it's great combo

Steel spur gears are not as good for a couple reasons:

Say a small rock gets in between the clutch and the spur, it can do hell to them. It is more weight, it does not make that huge of a difference but every ounce of rotating mass makes slower acceleration. It is really amazing what the equivalent of a small amount of rotating mass adds to the weight that the engine has to pull when accelerating. take mountain bike rims for example, a small amount of weight would be the equivalent of about a pound more while accelerating. (I would not want that.... who would?)

Steel spur gears last longer, yes, but I think delrin gears are a much wiser choice because they still have that strength, but they cost less and weigh WAY less.
