Default How much to overdrive?

Im wanting to overdrive my MOA truck, so I have lots of options. But I am not sure how much is to much, or not enough. I have the pinions in the shop to overdrive it to 75:1 in the rear (current gears) and 60:1 in the front. Does that sound like a good combo, or to much? I watched a vid this morning and I am now sold on the idea

OK, you have a MOA. Are you running 2 ESC's or a single ESC with a dig unit of some sort?
If 2/dual ESC's, do you have a RX capable of mixing or a 3 channel with another unit (like a WannAmix)?
Do both motors have the same # of winds?

Currently I am running a super rooster and two silver can tamiya motors, its a clod. Eventually, I want to go to a dual ESC setup and a twin stick controller. But for now, I want to try out this overdrive trick.
