35-40mph..... I like to be optomistic sometimes. I figure the lighter the truck, and the more cells -14 or maybe even 16 with a few tweaks to the esc-, and it should do 40 without too much trouble.... its just the heat issue. But then Novak must have taken that into account surely given the 70,000rpm+ the motor would be doing on just 12 cells (4.5 motor).

It makes me so sad I didnt have a digital camcorder when I finally made that last run with the TXT-1- insane acceleration/wheel spin, and amazing topspeed for a 12lb truck. I base the speed estimate on my old madbull- it does 20mph stock, and the TXT-1 was easily going nearly double that (the amount of ground covered in the same amount of time). It lacks torque, but speed is impressive....
