Most options for increasing speed will reduce overall torque (higher rollout from either bigger tires or lower gear reduction, higher kv motor). The other main option is increase the voltage, but along with that come a few other things to consider.

I have a 44T Jammin spur that is too small for my gearing, like new, if you want to give it a try let me know.

thanks dude

as for the drag and speed runs ... they have to be combined !

i need this buggy to do 0-100mph very quick !

the average fast drag car real scale is going to rip me if i cant have fast start ups and be able to hit 100mph atleast , they cross the line at a average 100mph

so i need the drag & speed setup in one buggy

is it possible ?

heat ... listen 1/4 mile isint much run time , i could expect it to get hot but not worried it wont burn because a 1/4 run if im lucky i could get 10-14 second run time , then if i just want to play with it in the streets or what ever , i could set my remote control to give 80% of power when i want to play safe nothing should heat up or burn

what do u guys think ?

thanks !
