Damn, you are geared for over 50mph. Drop down to an 11t pinion and you will do 40, and you should be able to ditch the fans. They are the only thing keeping that esc from cooking right now. If they fail and you do not notice that esc will be toast...

Plus you do not need to be doing 50 to win a race. A 10t pinion may be even better, as it should put you around 38mph. Your runtime may even double dropping the gearing, as you must be pulling some amps now...
