12 cells can do about 1200 watts, and his truck was very light. 1200 watts on a 93 percent efficient motor, that's 1116 watts. that's what is needed to get a light maxx to drive 50 mph.
I had the same setup. I think I could have got more out of it to be honest...Mine was doing the same with 2400 NiCad's. I think LiPo's would have got another 5 mph out of it...
