Welcome to the forums! You sound like you got it all together. You should definitely try to squeeze your cells in there first, no reason to drop more money just yet. But if you do decide to go lipo I suggest you take a look at TrueRC's (great bang for the buck) 8000 packs for runtime and their 6400 packs for a lighter setup. They're about half the price of other lipo's and so far I have yet to hear anything bad about them, so long as you don't draw too many amps(their C rating is lower than other companies). With them being so affordable you could buy 1 4S pack and 1 5S pack and give them both a try.
Also, you should look at BrianG's calculator if you haven't already, here's a link, it's really handy to have. I think a 12T pinion might be a little small for a 9XL, even with a MX style track. You might want to invest in a 13, 14, or 15T so you have some options.
Good luck and keep us updated!

Thanks guys....

I'm not going to buy any new batteries until i get the truck all put together and see how much room i have to work with....

I did check out that speed calculator and it a very cool tool......

It says my motor speed will be 36318.8 RPM....and top speed will be 34.98 MPH (56.19km/h).....i think i used it right?

I just automatically gear low for my track as it has a history of letting the smoke out of ESC's and several motors!

Thanks heaps for the warm welcome and use full input!
