Which esc?

You wont be able to crawl effectively with a high KV motor, and gearing up too much with those spinning toaster ovens of deaths will just make them overheat and de-magnetize quicker than normal, especially in heavier trucks.

9XL (~1900kv) would be a good allrounder that doesnt fry too quickly, good power on 4s & not overly twitchy with taller gearing. The 7XL is a speed run only motor, the 8XL was a common choice a few years ago fo most bashers, but these days the 9XL is most often recommended since replacing $60 motors every few runs gets quite old rather quickly.

Still, dont be expecting more than about ~40mph from your setup with any of the feigao XL motors on 4s lipo, you'd be better served with a higher quality item that costs a bit more, otherwise keep a close eye on temps when running the motor on the street, no more than 180*F.
