Although, honestly, first gear is useless with BL power.

Also, I'd personally go with a little higher voltage, like 4s, and the 9 or 10XL. That way the batts are balanced 2s on each side. The 9XL will still have more power than the titans and runtime will be better. The 10XL will have even better runtime, but be slower.
The main purpose for the brushless is to get a maintenance free truck that will have long run times. Don't want to mess with locked tranny, UBEC...etc.

If I run two batteries I will keep 'em in parallel to get even longer run times.

I'm running with an inexpensive MambaMax so I didn't want to push it by going too high a gearing for fear I'd overheat it.

Thanks for all the advice, BrianG.
