Well running in grass and weeds is going to put more strain on the setup. I actually found out that grass is our enemy! It puts one of the highest loads on the motor/esc. An 18t pinion will get you 35MPH, but for your typr of running you might want to step it down a touch. 17t = 33MPH, 16t = 31MPH with stock 66t spur. If you can get some different spur gears on there they are generaly cheaper than pinions and if you get a 17t pinion and a little smaller spur for a little extra speed and a bigger one when your mowing over rose bushes that would be ideal. If you don't have a choice of spurs I would still try the 17t and check temps and go from there.

That is also with a 5.8" tire, not sure what your running for tires
