I had to remove the body to achieve 55, because it was catching too much wind and flipping the truck over.

Good luck, and let us know if you achieve it!

Uh oh, I just bought Linc's 12S to run on 4S in my old rustler that got replaced by the CRT and given to my wife.... I wasn't trying to break spd records with it. She'll have to be careful. ;) Maybe I should have looked for a 16S :)

I had the LMT in the Rusty before also on M2Ks and 4S. It was pulling 55 pretty well, but a nasty flip broke the tranny case and the motor was moved to the CRT.5. I never did much testing with it, but the power was balls out. Too much for the rusty. IDK how the VXL drivers are keeping those things together. Good news is the Mtroniks ESC held up to the power really well. Didn't get too warm either (tho it was 35F outside...)


The LMTs (Lehner) are really nice, but they are a bit more pricey than the Neus and harder to find. I happen to pick up one for a good price and teh MM didn't run the Neus properly at the time. Either is a good motor IMO.
