I was alrerady thinking about taking out the 2nd gear because I don't really like the mechanical brakes, the ESC sits way too high (I'm going to move it to where the Brake servo used to sit, and it will shave off some weight. Think my gearing off 16T pinion, 36T spur, and close ratio second gear will be a a good setup? Right now it goes about 45 m.p.h. as it sits.

First, get rid of that 2650kV and get the 2200kV...the 2650kV is a buggy motor, and does not do well in truck/truggy/monster truck applications...it can actually cause problems, like taking out the ESC. The 2200kV is a truggy motor, producing much more torque and power, and is exactly what you need in a truck/truggy/monster truck.
You
DO NOT want to remove 2nd gear, you want to lock the transmission into 2nd gear and then remove the 1st gear components. 16/36 is decent gearing, but you really need to swap that motor for the 2200kV motor. I personally run standard-ratio, but you can run whatever you want...close, standard, wide, whatever (but I recommend standard).
