Need info for 80mph brushless truggy...

I think a 1527 on 12S lipo is more than enough to provide you with that, assuming you keep the rest of the truck light. 12S is a lot of battery, so you'll want as little weight as possible while maintaining a good current rating. I think 30C (or higher) batteries are a must in this case.

I will have to say, there will be very little low speed drivability, as since it is geared so high the minimum speed will have to be "that" high.

Ok, its weird, my friend revo can backflip from a standing still and get over 70mph, but it overheat.

I really want to get 80 without any overheating.
If you guys have a setup to recommend, to keep the truck still bashable, but able to strech his leg whenever i want up to 80 mph, and if i can gear it wider to really see a top speed once in a while also, but then i would not run it all day geared for top speed... :)

thx again!
