Ok, you are running a 3s 4000 lipo on an 8xl with a MM esc.

First off I would step up to 4s, and lower the gearing if you are happy with the speed. I am suprised that the 4000 battery is not getting hot with your setup. If you go to 4s, you will have to remove the red wire from the signal cable (disable the bec) and wire in a ubec, or use a rec battery pack to power the servos. The 8xl is a great motor to run on 4s lipo, and will perform very well in your buggy.

Do you have a pair of 2s 5000 batteries coming, or just one?
