Default Rustler motor/esc Questions

Hi All,

so I have had the Rustler RTR electric truck for about 2 years and upgraded to a Duratrax DE10 ESC and a brushless motor (tacon 3650-11T 3200KV). I was a little surprised that it was not mcuh faster than the stock 12t motor and ESC that I received with the truck. It was confirmed this weekend when my bother was showing off his newly purchased bandit Brushless buggy.

We have the same battery running (7 cell traxxas 3000mah) so I thought that top speed would be very close. I am using all the stock gears. What am I missing? He is probably 10=15 mph faster and his battery runs twice as long.

Also, thinking of maybe going with a 8 cell 5000mah Nimh battery. Any thoughts on what I should get. I am interested in some increased speed.

please help.
