How are the temps of your motor? An 11xl is not the most efficient motor out there and ditching the 2 speed and mechanical brakes will make it work harder raising temps. Ditching the 2 speed will make it easier to control wheelies though.

Edit: If you read the through this thread you will see the Losi kit fits up to 42mm motors. I found the Losi mount held heat in the motor since a 42mm motor won't contact the mount along the can so it can't act as a heatsink. Read through my other post regarding layout and gearing limitations.
I just wanted to confirm that it would also fit a motor as small as 36mm.
