thanks all!!

You have correctly applied basic logic. :-)
With the variety of factors that effect performance a single motor may have more than a single application. I wouldn't recommend the 7XL in every application (like say a 20+ pound truck), but it is viable for a 12 pounder w/ the proper gearing, batteries, and speed control.
There may be a better motor that will put you in the "sweet spot" based on what you wanna do w/ your truck (race, bash, rock crawl, high runtime, high speed, etc.), depends on many factors. After all, you don't see 7XL's as the recommended motor for 1/10 two wheel drive trucks. W/ the weight of the 1/10 trucks the 7XL has too much torque, which would mostly be wasted in this application (unless you need said truck to go very slowly up a 45 degree bank towing a brick).
Will the 7XL and 9920 be perfect for what you wanna do? Dunno (not sure what you want to do w/ your truck), but it'll probably work just fine.
Hope I didn't muddy the waters. :D
