Off course, you should not go too high, else the slope of the landing will be too hard.
I've had my worse landing with my stock brushed motor that were not able to get decent speed.
Now with a simple Novak 6.5 on my ZX5, jumps are longer and never break anything when landing on the 4 wheels.
If you are skiing for example, you will understand straight forward what I mean.

It's only impressive if you can land it and keep driving.

Sure with the wrong gearing which was used in this instance. He said it had a 26t pinion which is only one more tooth over stock and I am assuming it had the 76t spur as it would not have gone 66mph with the 83t spur. The motor got hot because it's geared wrong for top speed application! You should use a 31t-33t pinion with the 76t spur and then you should see a significant speed increase with a cooler motor perhaps. Good luck
I'm partial to the Rustler, that's all

If you use a larger pinion then you put more load on the motor which would cause the motor to over heat. I know the rustler is great, and the price is good. However, the speed t just upped the ante. This is good for consumers.
I just got a 30 pinion and will report back for those who are interested.

I got a bone stock Speed T with a 26 pinion (stock is 20) and a Max Amps 3S 8000mah battery. Sent it through the speed trap at 72mph twice. Motor was not hot after the runs. My friend has the VXL Rustler and it went 66mph. The rustler had the same pinion and was very hot.
I know this is a squid post, but I am very impressed with it's speed out of the box.

Speed T Squid Update
In search of more speed I installed a 30T pinion. Made 3 passes @74.2 MPH. After each run the motor was still cool to the touch. I am pretty sure this thing will go pass 75 MPH, just need more runway.
