4S lipo would make it fast. the power from a brushless setup comes from the batteries, so if you use poor batteries, the speed will be poor. and the batteries you are using are most likely budget batteries. their internal resistance is high, meaning their voltage drops under the slightest loads.

What arms are you planning on using? aluminum or plastic?

Nice shell, looks very racy..
Lipo would be nice to have, but its just so stupidly expensive (over here anyway) its not an option. I have 2 pairs of cheapo batteries which arent all that great- maybe 5-10 minutes run time at best. But I do have a pair of Nosram 4000mah which kick butt, so I hope to get some more better ones in the future. Arms wise Im getting the new Gmaxx ones when their site reopens. As for shocks, I like the way 8 shocks look, and this isnt going to be a hardcore racer, so it should still look great and perform well enough to amuse me no a sunday afternnoon. I like the shell too- might get something cooler one day but I just love T-maxx shells....
