9L in rustler

I used to do speed runs with an 8L in my Rustler on 12cells. It did go fast, but because of the 5mm shaft I wasn't really able to gear it properly.

I'm actually using 32p gearing on it right now. I have spurs from 60,66,70,72 and 5mm pinions of 12T, 16T, and 22T.

So far I've only tried 16/60 and it had insane power until a concrete curb jumped out in front of it! (broken: front a-arm, rear slider, and tranny casing where the right rear a-arm attaches.)

Until I pick up the 8s, what do you think would be a good spur/pinion combo for the 9L in my Rusty? Actually, what would be a good gear combo for the 8s while I'm at it? Should I stick with the 32P, or go back to 48p? (I need to figure out if I need to order more gear-sets when I order the 8s.)

Thanks again for your help!
