Best combo for CB and Spur

[gnarkill]

I hope I am not getting annyoing with many questions about my clutch/spur. What are the best combination for a cb and spur gear. I am looking for a 47 tooth spur and a 17 tooth bell. This is the savage x stock I believe, please correct me if i am wrong.

OK...What engine? Stock F4.6?

Yes 17/47 is stock. I would recommend 18/47 if you want a little more speed.

I run 16/47 and i like it.

i have a 15/49 right now rediculus torque but was the only ones they had in stock
the engine itself has plenty of torque id say go with the 18/47 or maybe 19/47

I run the Robinson racing 48T/16T ones, and no complaints about them. I think that it as the ''Torque and Speed'' balance for me.

With the 16T cb it is going to make my car have more accel or more top speed? What bell do you run?

Lower CB teeth count and/or more spur teeth count =more acceleration, less top speed
Higher CB teeth count and/or less spur teeth count=more top speed,less acceleration....
There are other factors to consider. H.P.and torque to weight ratio. Tire diameter and weight.
A stock Savage X with the F4.1 comes stock with 16/49 I believe...
A stock Savage X with the F4.6 comes with 17/47
I almost always run 16/47 on a Savage wiith a 2-speed, it seems to be the best all around combo unless you have a lot of wide open area for long high speed runs.

It also depends on what tires you run. Big floaty tires have a tendency to get out of hand when running fast, but they also take more power to get up to speed. I'm running old school savage GT1 tires on mine. At WOT in the flats, it's a handful. Wanders all over the place. But the tires are decent for general grass/concrete running, so I stick with them.

I'm running 16/49 with a 3-speed trans and LRP28S3 engine. Not sure if the 3-speed trans is geared any taller than the two speed though.

I was running 16/47, but the extra little bit of gearing made the slipper slip too easy, so I dropped a couple teeth and now it holds up really well. The engine could push it just fine, but short of locking down the slipper (which I'm just a butt hair short of now), it would just slip after a few hard passes.

I was running stock t-maxx tires/wheels and it was considerably slower. Was more controllable, but I spun the hex's out of a couple rims. Upgraded to 17mm hex's and new skins. With the t-maxx tires, unless the pavement was really grabby, it would just spin all 4 tires. Kind of cool to see the old savage become a drifter off the line.
