Ok first off you it sounds as if you ran it to lean and that caused the overhating. Just richen the needles up and it should be fine. As for a new motor i would have to go with the O.S .18cvr if your not planing to race. It has enough power( more then the motor it came with) and is very easy to tune also. But as for more overall top speed you will have to change the bell gear and the spur gear to achive that. For more speed go with more teeth on the bell gear and less teeth on the spur gear. But doing this the truck will not accelerate as fast and may not wheelie at all. The .18cvr will cost you around $105

Remember to get a faster overall top speed you have to sacrifice acceleration and vice versa. So if you want the truck to have a fast overall top speed you may want to rethink about that wheelie bar. About the only other alternative is to buy a .18tz then that should fix the top speed and wheelie problem but it cost nearly $200.

But it's up to you

I have an AE15 ps with stock gearing for bashing and I am amazed whenever it pulls a wheelie, I also have an OS12 TR non pull for racing, and its just enough to pull a wheelie here and there too.

Its not all about power to make your truck do a wheelie, proper weight distribution and suspension set up also helps to do this.
