Stock gearing, 6s lipo, 40 series, and WOT through grass you'll cook it in a matter of minutes. This may sound a bit complicated at first, but you've got to get your gearing dialed in a bit before you'll have the best reliability. On 4s lipo and 40 series I'd aim for about 35 MPH and keep temping it and go from there. Then you can step up to a 5s setup if you want more speed. Those wheels/tires weigh over a pound each so you're going to lose a lot of performance and I expect the lifespan of the differentials will be greatly reduced.

I"ll take that chance, monster trucks are meant to have big ass tires. I refuse to believe that 2200kv will have a hard time powering 40 series wheels with the torque that thing puts out...
