On our large track I would bump to a 22t pinion with fans on everything...~50mph

by speed calculator you should do over 90MPH .. theoretically 95-98

but not on a hobbywing style motor i doubt it will get in the 80's I could be mistaken though , maybe castle or tekin

Castle motors are 4 pole ??
and most Tekin motors to

a Tenshock would rock this car!

Outta the box shock oils, shock springs and diff greases are good. Just lower the chassis, set the droop, get some Sweep, Alpha or GRP tires and maybe a real type body and go racing. Make sure you check the stuff mentioned in post #1712 above.

I believe your car is one of the biggest and best values in the R/C car market for the GT8 class of vehicle.

17t pinion is the biggest pinion I currently have so I was gonna start there, but that's gonna be to slow for me.

im using the duratrax onyx brushless system.4p0le 2200kv 120a. I know its not a popular brand but it was affordable and as far as I can tell so far it gets the job done
I as looking at a tenshock 6pole motor is it ok with my current esc( 120a continuous)
