i don't get it. why are you guys giving this guy so much guff?
a few years ago, i heard the same BS when people were talking about dropping 6S in their e-maxxs. it can't be done. it's too fast. it's useless. blah blah blah......i think it was the laziness of people not having the technology handed to them on a platter that's making them so against it.
because when the MMM came out, you saw tons of 70+mph trucks with tons of people saying how great it was. the bashers were all but hushed.
can it be done? hell yeah it can be done. I've seen ofna buggies over 100mph with the same method. get the pistix and the hv-110 and drop some cash on some 30-40C lipos and you'll be golden.
if i'm not mistaken, Nic Case went 161mph with that same ESC. it'll provide the means for sure. the 1527 or 1521 will provide the power. just make sure you keep in mid you might need a custom motor mount because the mounting holes are larger spaced apart. Rc-monster Mike might be able to fabricate one for you if you ask him. (he's also the owner of the site)

Also, those motors usually require an 8MM bore pinion. however, offshore electronics rc can special order them with 5mm shafts. it could take several weeks to order though...they also carry the pistix.

instead of saying how retarted it is, encourage the guy...geez ....jzmaxx did over 80 with one of the heaviest MT that's available. an 80mph truggy is definately do-able running cool.
good luck Over_revO
