If you want more acceleration, either go larger on the spur gear, or smaller on the clutchbell, or both.

Higher acceleration = slower top speed
faster top speed = slower acceleration (unless you get more power)

If you want faster acceleration, get yourself a spur with more teeth. I think that's what bigmike meant to say because the size of the spur generally stays the same. And Yes, of course you can change up your clutch bell gear with one with less teeth. Maybe beef of your nitro mix using like 25-30% and use the same config.
