Well turns out heres an easier fix now. HPI Octane gears are hardened steel and work as replacements. Hpi111167 and hpi111169. Pic courtesey of Llcoolskillet.

Do they fit... yes but anyone who does go this route they may want to file or sand the area marked in red just a super tiny bit to make fitting the C clip back on with ease. I got it on but its a hair tight so a quick file and its perfect.

I'm still a fan of the original mod using the 2spd gears as they are wide, but this a direct replacement with virtually zero modification for those who do not have access to a dremel or such.

any recommendations on the replacement of the hot racing 44 tooth steel gear in replacement of the plastic gear? Looks like it's discontinued and can't find a replacement. Waiting for my ercm picco and engine from Robin in Canada so I can drop it in my savage x. Thank you
