The tires basically blew off the rims after two or three runs and it was impossible to keep the front end down. I went through like four sets of tires in about 10 minutes.

Fun while it lasted though!

That is a great motor on 4s for speed runs and bashing. It is way too much power if you plan on racing. Not very long run time, but on 4s it is ballistic. Can easily get the car up to about 60. 12-15 minutes of run time.

What mah battery is that with?

For the speed runs I was using a Zippy-H 5s 5000 & 4000 packs. I used to race with a 4s 5000 packs and a 3s 8000 & 3s 6000 pack. On 3s the car the motor would still smoke a nitro pretty easily. On 4s you had to run stupidly low pinions 9-12 tooth to keep the car from being too fast. It pulled way too many amps to run on 3s reliably. It puffed a 3s 6000 polyquest pack after a couple of races. The 3s 8000 (maxamps) took it like a champ though.

Whoa! That's gotta be a first! Maybe the higher internal resistance of the MA cells helped in this case...

So i'am best to keep it on 4s??
But is this motor on 4s in an 1/8 scale buggy will pull to much amps if i gear it for about 40m/h?

No, and many people have proven that 4s with a 1512 1.5d is a great buggy setup.
