I suppose the Feigao L cans have 5mm shafts. In this case you will need "5mm bore 32 pitch pinions" which you can find here. I use a 16 tooth pinion with my 2500kv motor. A Feigao 540L10 has a lower KV so i would choose a 16,18 and 20 pinion. Depending on where you live in Australia and the average temperatures you see during the year, you will have some good options with those pinions to keep the temperature in safe limits. With a 16 tooth pinion you will be a tad slower than 35mph. But with the 20 tooth pinion you should top 35mph easely (but this will depend on your batteries -> when they (NimHs) come warm from the charger, they will maintain a higher voltage under load which will translate to a higher topspeed)

After 1,5 years i still use the stock spur. So you are good to go with the stock spur gear ... The best slipper setting is reached when you notice only a small lifting of your front tires when accelerating hard. This way your driveshafts shouldn't break only from motor power and you won't have to deal with wheelies. The driveshafts btw can easely be replaced with the ones found on the Emaxx. They are cheaper and a tad stronger.

The mamba ESC has two wires where you connect your batteries. When using 2 IB 3800 stickpacks (so 6 cells on each side of your truck) you have to connect them in series. When using Dean plugs you could use a Y adapter but not one for paralel connections. When using 4mm connectors you could simply connect the red wire of your first pack to the black wire of your second pack, and connect the remaining two wires to your ESC (that's how i connect my batteries to my ESC).

12awg wires should be fine.
