So, i got my SCTE 3.0 up to 66mph

[Nightcrawler67]

Just for S&G's I put a skyrc GPS module on my SCTE 3.0 and did some speed runs. Not a favorable thing to do with a rig that's basically got a parachute for a body (especially my Subie body).
But, running it without the body, with a castlecreations.com MonsterX esc, 2200kv 1515 motor, 20t pinion on 6s.....

I achieved 66 mph.

Afterwards, when I got it home, I noticed that my tires were starting to come un-glued. They're 1/8th scale buggy tires, so I'm not sure how much it affected over-all speed. But, I'm VERY impressed with it. Btw, it weighs in at a full 9.5lbs loaded.

consider running GT8 wheels instead of buggy wheels where GT8 tires are far less prone to ballooning and some brands offer belted radials which are perfect for speed runs and will be far less likely to become unglued:

I prefer to glue my own tires using this method here:

I just did the math. And, mathmatically, that's not possible. your 3500kv motor doesn't make enough rpm's on 3s to out match my motor on 6s. And the gear ratios are pretty damned close too. Assuming you have stock 10T diff gears, which are 35/9, there is NO WAY you're doing 75mph on 3s. Now, if you're talking Kph, I can see that. Because that's only 46 or so Mph.
