It's a beast alright. I forgot you are running a transmission. I use this motor on 4s and 8s with a mamba xl in an e-maxx with a center diff. I always planned on someday running 12s and breaking 100mph.

I'm thinking of downgrading to a 1515. I believe a 1515 (or similar motor like your 4274) on 6s is plenty of power. My very heavy savage with a 1717 is usually only run on 4s, and it is plenty.

I've done big and powerful and to me anything over 50mph is getting to where you just do speed runs. At 50 r/c's are out of sight within a few seconds. A 1515 is plenty to do 50 and you have the torque to wheelie the whole way there.

Do you think your setup is not powerful enough, or are you just considering your options?
