Is it just for bashing? or a bit of racing as well.
If your going to race it or going to do a lot of stop start driving then I'd get a some smaller pinions as well.
I use 51/13, with a 7XL on 14 cells for racing and the Quark can't finish a 5 minute race. This setup is pretty fast for the track.
I've driven mine a few times on an oval with a 16t pinion, and it's pretty fast, had a lot more acceleration than I expected and could wheel stand at higher speeds than the 13t pinion, but I think constantly running it like that and with lots of stop/starting could get things pretty warm though. I couldn't image it with an 18t pinion.
