Given your battery choice, you may want to stay with the 8l and the 16/40 gearing. Nothing against maxamps, but if you are going to buy a pair of 2s lipos go with the trakpower batteries. I have a pair of 5k maxamps 2s packs and was not happy with their performance oin my 7xl powered revo. Did not have the punch that a battery of that size should. Not sure what squee is using in the way of batteries, but it is most likely a better pack.

The 9l will run cooler, but slower and the acceleration will not be much differnent if any. I have run a 9l in a heavily modified tune buggy stampede. Not a bad motor, but the 8l worked very well in the revo. It runs right at 35k rpm on 3s and will allow for lower gearing than the 9l will. That should help the mm and the batteries.
