That should get you to 132' pretty quick.
I don't think getting a high cap lipo and low C rating is a good idea, this seems to go against logic here?

I agree with the 1700kv motor on 6s should be really good, and not over powered like the 2700kv on 5s would be!

AAngel, even a 1512 for drag racing would be enough to be honest, these motors all have enough torque flip the truck over at speed, so you are basically limited by the trucks center of gravity really, up until the very high speed end of things. Unless, of course you are using a wheelie bar, which will be another story...
