Keep in mind that high rpm motors use fewer winds and have less 'torque'.
Running the same gear ratio on two seperate vehicles, one having a high-torque motor, the other having a high rpm motor, the high-torque vehicle will always beat the other off the line. But as long as you have enough straight away ahead, the high rpm motor will eventually come up to speed and move that vehicle faster. But how often do you have that much straight away when running off-road?
What does this all mean? If you run a high rpm motor then you need to run a lower gear ratio so that the high-rpm motor can get to it's torque range quicker.
Get the pinion gear set and use a smaller gear or put in the dual-motor(both high torque) for increased off the line and short burst power.
