The 7XL isn't too much motor, it's controllable power in a buggy. I used it on 14 cells in my Mugen, and pretty much loved that setup. On one hand, you say that you want to go 30-35 mph just like your nitro buggy, while in the last post you say' i need it to be faster' i don't think that speed is the thing you need. it's acceleration that's the most important. (so traction and torque are important) a 50 mph truck can loose a race from a 10mph truck, if you catch my drift..

The 8XL will give you more runtimes, and can be geared a tad higher than the 7XL while the 7XL will drain the batteries quicker.

The 7XL is an impressive motor, it runs like crazy, and can't be beaten by it's cheap price. If it's geared properly it won't run too hot. and if you want to play it safe, get a rc-monster motor-clamp/heatsink. (which is a wise thing to buy anyway)
