I think i'm gonna go with the 8xl, what gearing would be best for my setup, i ask because pinions are $12 and i dont want to have to buy them more than once

Nice setup emaxxracer15. I think you should buy a range of pinions as you may find 6s is a little faster than you like with the Feigao 8XL. Using 5S I get plenty of pace, and by changing pinions you can get higher speed or higher torque (I still get wheelies on 5S with the larger pinions but the main reason to use the smaller one is it seems to protect the motor and ESC from temps, so tougher on the geartrain but gentler on the motor). Mind you the torque on my truck is enough to break the standard outdrives- since you have the 3.3s I wonder what will break on yours???!!!!! Have fun. My advice- start with 16turn pinion.
