HV-Maxx 4.5 or MM and 9xl?

Wowzers, didnt realise you could gear them that high, its a big leap from the HvMaxx gearing of 25:1 on 4400kv, guess I have to start learning all my ratios again if I went the XL type motor route.
$137 for the MM + $80 for an 8XL + $34 for XL clamp + a few more $ for pinons and gold plugs etc.... = ~$280ish/£140. I'd call that a bargain for what you're getting- I think I have found my ideal setup... now to finish saving up £££ (donations welcome).

My neu 1515 2.5D (1700kv) seems to work well in my e-maxx on 14 cells geared 12.5:1 :018: After a race the motor was 36 degrees C (97 F):027:
I have only used it like this a couple of times so far and I didn't expect it to work so well. Still has good accleleration, low motor temps, lower esc temps than with 7xl geared for about the same speed (high 30's), and runtimes seem as good if not better.
But I didn't buy this motor to use in this setup, it could end up staying though.
