People like to throw numbers out, like 55mph, but usually they have no idea how fast 55mph is for an r/c car. Hell, at 40mph they are outta sight in a few seconds. My friend swore up and down his rustler was hitting 70mph, and when we gps'ed it his fastest run was 44mph.
Gearing a muggy for 55 seems to be the reason you killed so many MMMs, not the MMM.
I believe to get everything you want you'll need to go HV like 12s, or run 2 tekin systems. You just want too much.

I have both of my truggies geared for 34-36mph and one actaully has gone 46mph and it is spot on when I added a 1" ballooning (5.65" truggy tires) in Brian's calculator. If you gear your Muggy for 55mph without adding tire balloning, it will be going a lot faster.

Yes, above 35mph or so tire ballooning does start to affect speeds in a big way.
