Alright, time for some lies/misprints:

In the mag they say that the two lipos are wired in PARALLEL for a 3s 4400mah pack. However thay managed 47mph. They even state that the motor is turning at around 14,500 rpm. If you do the math that would require a 40tooth pinion gear, assuming that the spur and diffs are factory ratios/sizes. If you do the same calc with 6s you arrive at a more reasonable 18-20tooth spur gear. So that means that a MM was run on 6s by mag tester and did not let the smoke out. It also shows that a 2200 battery kept up with that motor/gearing combo. Unless they are making it all up, then then the MM is badass(must be an A batch model!). I understand that the higher voltage keeps the current down, and the batts must be 20c min so that would be 44amps cont at 22.2v. This would be a little over 1 horsepower, figuring about 85% eff motor. Not too shabby and it out performed the nitro 8ight.
