55,000+ rppm is to fast. Especially on a big motor like that. I dont know much about those weedwhacker motors that power those large sclaes, but I'll bet they hardly turn 20,000.

First think you will need is a big wallet to go with that big car....

Get a big motor & big battery and use the torque, not the rpm to get your speed. Gearing is your friend.
