Default Savage FLUX XL HP - Gearing Wheel/Tire Question?

Hi guys just looking for a little advice. I have a Savage Flux HP converted to XL fully modified HPI Suspension coversion/RPM arms, castle cooling fan etc. I WAS running 40 Series Chayanne Wheels W/40 series Big Joe tires. I geared down to an 18T pinion Gear to handle the change and it did very well.

Now to my QUESTION, I wanted to try out the GST 7.7 Wheels and tires I have laying around because I like the look and height it gives the truck, just figured i;d try them for a while to see if I like them. What Pinion Gear do you think I should go to, or will I be OK with the current 18T pinion. I don;t want to risk burining anything up so I fiugred i'd ask for a little advice sicne these tires are very tall, alot taller than the Big Joes/Cheyanne combo I previously had.

Thanks in advance for any help.
