NOT worth it. You need to spend some time setting the mesh right, and adjusting the slipper correctly. A spur gear can easily last a couple gallons or so.

You'd also be better off spending the money on alum. chassis braces instead. Chassis flex is right behind poor mesh when it comes to stripping gears.

The steel spurs are good if you are ruff with your truck. First I would get the chassie braces. You really need them if you do any jumping at all, and the the steel spur. After that get some rpm arms, and your truck should be pretty tuff.
