The EX speedo is intended for 1/12 or 1/10 onroad 1 cell applications. I wouldnt use it in off-road, even worse on a 4 wd buggy. It can't handle the heat. I have successfully used a 2.1 with a 6.5 no problem in 2wd and 4wd.

I will say it is really really pushing it....if you are running the ESC which has a very small heatsink and has no fan, then you are running the full boost 323stock with 17.5...esc will be HOT. And you are going to risk burning the ESC.

Yes, that is a mistake, I will have that correct. GT2.1 EX does not come with fan, there are no mounting holes for the fan. If you are running off road, at least use the GT2.1 ProSTOCK or the GT2 PRO depends on how hot of a motor that you are using and what software you are running.

For your 4x4 SCT...your ONLY choice is GT2 PRO...you are running mod motor and possible 550 mod motor...use the GT2 PRO...GT2.1 Prostock or LPF won't cut it.
