Yeah I have to agree with wollow86, with a 3000kv and stock gearing that should get you up in the mid to upper 20mph range. I installed a 3500kv Tacon in mine at first and it was overkill for me at the track and in an open parking lot those HPI tires ballooned on me pretty quick. I'm running a 2230kv now for indoor carpet racing.

I do recommend the Exotek front diff input cup, I had so much bite it sheared off the plastic teeth on it.
