I can tell you that at our track, a stock slash will run down a 27T buggy or truck. I can't really see how putting that same motor in a car that weighs 2-3 pounds more is going to be just as fast. It's never gonna live either.

A 13.5 would probably be closer...maybe even a 10.5. These things weigh over 5 pounds...mine is 5# 3 ounces w/o a battery.
