Its best to upgrade to a 2.4ghz radio with a failsafe. The spectrum DX3C is a good one and also for a little cheaper at tower hobbies if the Futaba 3PL. As far as engine choices the LRP .32 is a popular one for the savage and also the new OS .30VG is a great choice. My friend just bought the OS .30vg and i had the opportunity to install and break it in and tune it for him and i was impressed with the torque and power of it. You can use Ebay to find the cheapest prices on parts and upgrades for it. Also www.towerhobbies.com has pretty good prices on parts for the savys. RPM suspension arms are a must have for any basher.

I'm not too familiar with the Savage but I know that too much chassis flex will cause spur gears to shred. My neighbor has 3 Savages and I've never seen them run any of the 3 a full tank due to shreading spur gears. Seems to me a pretty common problem with the Savage. They sound really nasty though haha.

Your gear mesh is not right. Of the 3 savages I have owned I have yet to shred a spur gear. If you upgraded to the metal spur gear you also have to get the hardened steel clutch bell. Otherwise you will keep shredding the bell. You are better off sticking with the plastic spur, when meshed right, they will last forever.
