Does this sound good?? I have no idea the gearing, so I have no idea what pinion to use to see what mph it will fall at. I am shooting more 37-39mph which is what I need on the open style track we run on. Any thoughts??? Should I go higher KV or lower KV or just higher voltage...maybe 3S?

If its ball diffs and belts, the drivetrain should be good. I think novak or similar motors will be good, mamba's or a VXL might be too much.
