As you know you can only put so much power through your drive train,too much you start stripping spur gears or shredding your diff,i would stick with your 2 8s,in comparison to say a 26cc Zenoah do the 8s give similar top end speed

the brushless cheetah is a lot quicker all round the acceleration is instant and very quick, the mcd has 3 diffs and 4 metal gears so i'm hoping they will be man enough for the job, the propshafts, though upgraded may be the weak point, only one way to find out :-)

Best of luck,at the end of the day nothing is bullet proof,but if you have upgraded the main weak points then hopefully you should have no real drama
