I run a pair of the 12t motors in a tamiya blackfoot, with front and rear trannys. I use a novak super duty on 3s lipo and it is geared for about 34-35mph. The rear motor does get warmer than the front, but I use a clip on heatsink to equalize the temps a bit. I have to run the motors without the slide on can wrap metal thingys (technical term, sorry about that for the noobs) as they are a tight fit in the trannys.

Great setup, and the novak esc has great brakes. It will do wheel stands in either direction. and I can run a low rate lipo, 18c 3000 (maybe not that low) and get 1/2 hour runtimes at least. I like the 12t motors, work well for me.
