It is quite fast as we are not undergearing the cars. 13.5 turn motor with 3.8fdr. Granted this was M-chassis at the time so it was 2 wheel drive but still a testament to modern battery, motor and esc tech.

We have been running races like this since last year and the batteries are still in great shape. Mine hasn't swelled and stilk has punch and holds charge well.
How did you gear the m-chassis at 3.8? The Tamiya minis are around 5.8.
