Also looking at putting a 17.5 brushless motor in it, will that be ok for the gearbox and can you advice gear ratio etc?
Thanks for any advise you can give

Welcome to the mad house 😊
make sure you have the front shock tower brace installed (g4?). Also, grab a set of spare gears off eBay. In terms of ratios, you're stuck with the 0.4 module gears, so run the biggest pinion you can find that will fit and the reduced acceleration should put less strain on the delicate gearbox.
