Hi Rev,

I can't answer all of your questions, since I don't own a buggy. But I think I can help you with this one.

"According to HPI, the Vorza will only do 51mph out of the box with 6s lipo? Thats what i'm getting with my E-Revo, and thats a heafty monster truck! How can this be right?"

This is just a difference in gearing.

You could take that same 6S 2200kv Monster Combo and gear it for a top speed of 30mph. But It's not going to use the Combo to it's full potential.

Then again, you could gear the Monster Combo for 100mph, but that doesn't mean it's going to do it. The System will most likely cog and overheat, that is, IF your batteries stand up to the huge amp draw.

Total Amp Draw and Heat buildup are a couple things that limit us speed freaks.
