Default I want it to whoop some @$$ (TC4/Mamba/Lipo)

Team Kit TC4
Mamba 5700K
20T Titanium Pinion
72T stock Spur
Current FDR: 9.00

I'm currently running a 3600mah Nicad 6Cell, but i have some 3s 3000mah Lipo's on the way.
I know the 3s Lipo is going to be a world of differences but what else can i do?

Castle Creations "recommends" a Pinion of 13-18T and the largest spur i can get.

1) Should i go to the 18t pinion like recommend, (which would make my top end slower)
Or since i'm looking for top speed leave the 20t
2) If go with a 76t or 77t spur gear like recommend that will also hurt my top end.

So... Right now my gearing is not what Castle Creations recommends.. But it will be faster.. (giving that something doesn't break)
I'm thinking, i will leave the current gearing, and just install the heat sink and fans i have and watch the temps.

Just looking for opinions.

Thanks,
Tom.
