Hey!! I'm running that exact set-up (minus the G-Maxx chassis - will I will have soon. I have mine geared at 18/72, it gives me huge amounts of torque and is very quick. After a good 25minutes (believe me, your runtimes will be this long!!) the motor is about 180F on a hot day (80F). My controller (7020) doesn't get above 90F whatever I do!

I would suggest starting at around 16/72, which is where I started and just gear up as needed. Mike suggested to me I should be looking at about 20/72 or even 22/72, but unless the motor temps drop below 180F I'm staying put at 18/72.

Hope this helps....and enjoy the set-up!!!
