So, had a chance to drive it at the track today. Nothing but impressed with the over-engineered setup. Since its pushing a 6lb truck instead of a 10.5lb truck the batteries barely get strained, the motor never gets warm, the ESC isn't even warm to the touch.

3S 5000mah Gens Ace 40c lipo about a year old
18/42 gearing
MMM/2200kv setup.

At one point I think I was on the track for nearly 35 minutes on a single charge, and I didn't even finish the pack. I just put the pack on the charger and it only took 1800mah back. Crazy.

I think the top speed is about 30-35mph or so, haven't GPSd it yet.

I'm happy with this setup for now. Love the runtime. Kinda wish I went with the 2400kv 1415 setup on this truck. Might switch to that and run 3S/4S.
