Aren't the Titans 23 turn? It will probably work but not sure about the gearing.

Well ! i've just tried this setup out ! I gor like 5x the wheelspeed and still lot's of tg ! I only ran my redcat crawler fore mabu 3min's on pavment and up and down some stairs and a dirthill next to my flat. The motor's was just noticiable warmer than stonecoold and the mm slightly hotter so i think it will be ok ! I can alwas put some 12v fans on the motors and over the esc if needed :O) The dragbrake seems to be stronger with these motors to !
