Red face Beach readiness?....

So I'll be heading to the beach in a few weeks and will be taking the truck. I grabbed some paddle tires just for fun and a 20t Axial motor. My question is what should i do with the gearing to get some speed to just bash around with? I'll take any other thoughts that you guys might have too, if I should order anything else that might work better..

Put in a hot brushless system3500-3800kv, and gear it 16/80 on 3s. Should be good for so 30ish mph =fun...

That wouldn't even be close to 30mph.

I'd invest in a 1/10 buggy for speed. Scaler should just creep

Some of the neighborhood roads close to the beach where I live are made from crushed limestone which is scraped periodically to keep them smooth. Its very hard like concrete but with a very thin layer of particles on top.
We like to wait until they are scraped smooth and then rained on to take our shortcourse trucks and rally cars. But the speed limit on these roads is only 15 MPH and being mature adults we would never exceed the speed limit
