I think the 5700 would be a great setup. A RadioShack 6 cell 3300 pack will give you around 25 minutes of runtime. They perform better if you feel like breaking down the pack and rebuilding it into a SxS pack. With 17/81 gearing, that will put you in the 30+ mph catagory. Need more speed? Make an 8 cell pack and you will be in the 40+ mph range. Still need more? Get a 3S LiPo and you're going to be in 50+ mph territory easy. The 5700 is one of the most versitile motors out there, IMHO. Those numbers are coming from a B4 buggy, and it's geared pretty conservatively, you can go far more insane from there. For instance, I have a 21T pinion...i don't think i'm gonna put that on there, haha! (best guess for that is 60+ mph)

The MM has plenty of power and torque to push a heavy truck around.

ok! mambo max it is... just ordered it.

the only fast lane parts not on my truck is the aluminum transmission case, and all gears in there are still stock...

any suggested replacements?

also... MUCH MUCH MUCH thanks for all the advices!!!
