mamba monster GT8.0
I have a monster gt 8.0 with the tekno motor mount mamba monster with 2200kv motor runing 6S lipo 4000mah 35c with 45c burst this thing is insane broken the drive gears the first time out, the second time out broke the pin on the main shaft. the truck has a top speed of 71mph and will do a back flip from a dead stop.

track is really large outdoor with medium traction, LARGE jumps. i will probably get a 14 bell as well. my main concerns were runtime and temps. will have to make a 30 minute main. battery change would be nice to avoid, but not going to kill it i don't think. just want my gear to make it to the end without boiling the motor

"i have a losi 1.8 with tekno kit, tekin 1900kv on 5S lipo with 14/48 gearing. FAST!!! a little too fast. tune the epa just a hair. this is a fast yet efficient setup. my temps are about 130 degrees on the motor. "
what kind of run times do you get on that setup?
"Is your track HUGE? Because that will be a very fast set-up. Not too fast for some tracks/drivers, but you might consider getting a 4S pack to try as a tuning aid for smaller tracks or to test against your lap times form the 5S battery. Also you may want to get an assortment of other smaller clutch springs. Other than that, your set-up looks "spot on". "

that should work out perfect. 15-17 and a battery change would equal out to 8-9 minute pit stops, if my pit guy can get a battery back in that quick. hoping in the near future our track will have enough guys running electric to support it's own class.

Do you have a hex wrench and not an "L" shaped hex? With a good hex wrench, you can torque the set-screw down well.
Besides trying what Tekno RC said and replacing the set-screw, you can also try red thread-loc. You will have a hard time getting the screw loose though and will probably need to heat it up to loosen it.

the norm runtime is about 15-17 min so no matter what you will have to make a battery change. teeforb gets i think about 16-17min of runtime. try to find the biggest 5s battery mah wise like a 6000mah 5s. like i said you will need to make a battery change no matter what setup you go and especially because you are running on a big track..

Runtime and temps are dependent on many different factors (driving style, outdoor temps, etc.) and you will need to test your set-up to see how it does. Immediately check temps on your motor/battery/esc after a short session at the track. Drive hard in five minute intervals for the tests and if everything seems within limits, go for ten minutes and so on. After you see that the heat isn't an issue, charge up a pack and see what runtime you get before you hit voltage cut-off (I recommend you set your ESC for "auto-LiPo" at 3.2v per cell). Again, drive hard and make sure you have a marshal to turn you back over quickly, for real race condition testing.
