60 mph mamba brushless setup for e-maxx, would this work?

I also would like to use the supermaxx differentials. Will these differentials work with the fastlane machine chassis and the driveshaft it comes with?

I already did this 8mos ago w/ my BL Revo. You will get ~45mph w/ the 8XL on 16cells.

Now this is alot of power, and its very fun to drive, but if your big/only goal is to do 60, then you need to ~2x the power. On 5s Lipo/8Xl/MM i did 48-49 mph reliabiably. My conversion parts were light, but this was a stock 2.5 chassis and talons. Dropping weight I could see 50-51 I'm sure. This is the very edge of what a MM can do.

To get to 60, I would say you need ~2500+W for an avg/light Maxx. My 5S setup was ~1800W realisticially. As speed goes up, each increase in power shows diminishing results.

You will need an expensive drivetrain to do this as well. G/l trying to keep the front down. The MM cannot provide enough power unless you get your truck to insanely light weight (~7.5 or less I would think, but just a guess.)
