I am running the MMM v3 & medusa v2 60mm 2000kv motor and get ~20 minutes on my 4s 5k packs at my local track running a 15t bell. This is about 34mph top end but it is SOO quick I really don't loose any ground on the back stretch, but you have to decide more top end or longer run time ;P We have so many jumps any faster just isn't necessary to have top lap times. I would say if I were geared 13t on a 5s 5k would get me pretty close to 30min but.. this is also a ton of stress on the lipo packs going that low in mAH. You will be forced to pit anyway in 30min mains so why not just do 1 battery swap.

PS plan on getting at least 3 lipo's as well so you can get through your qualifiers and mains.. and watch out if you get stuck in a "B" main you may need a 4th battery on hand depending on how quickly they run the "A" Main for the night.

Well I live at altitude so the cars I have gpsd with Nova Rossi engines only hit about 33mph on asphalt so 34- 36 mph would do me fine, are track has a 175ft straight so I dont want to get run over but cornrering is gonna have to be the number 1 priority, lots of turns.
