Wow, I must say, I am now thoroughly confused and scared to death...heh!

A few details;
I have a nitro 3.3 Revo that I converted to brushless using Mike's RCM motor-mount and custom carbon-fiber Battery/ESC/RX trays that I made. It has the V3 MMM/2200kV combo running through the nitro transmission with a forward-only conversion, Pro-Line Bow-Tie MTRs on Pro-Line 23mm ½" off-set Velocities, a ton of carbon-fiber, titanium, & other lighter-than-stock parts throughout...and I am also planning on running the brakes & reverse via the motor.

I was planning on running a pair of Zippy Flightmaxx 4S 2650mAh packs in parallel for 14.8v @ 5300mAh, but am now questioning that choice after reading this thread, but wanted to ask a few questions before I make my final decision.

I am not a speed-freak, and I am not going to race, I just want a quick truck that is reliable enough to bash around the yard, in the chert-pit, and do jump-tricks off of my ramp...maybe 35-40mph max. Right now, besides the batteries, my biggest question is gearing, and about the transmission...

...is the overall gear-ratio of the nitro Revo transmission any different than the E-Revo transmission? If so, what spur and pinion would you guys suggest for my setup and what I want out of the truck, as well as if the ratios are the same for both transmissions? Like I said, I don't want all-out speed, just 35-40mph and reliability enough to do what I said above. As for the batteries I chose, I believe they will work just fine for my needs, but I really want to make sure before I damage something, and I would really appreciate help from you guys since you really know your stuff.

Thank you so very much for any help you guys can provide, it will be much appreciated!

P.S: I am going to run a set of Mike's V3 1/8 Revo Hybrid Diffs (buggy ratio) in the future, so I may need some help selecting a spur/pinion for that setup as well...
