You might have seen this before, but this is my e-maxx geared 12.5:1 (yours geared 16/48 would 12.9:1) before I swapped the brushless stuff over to the truggy. I should give you an idea of the performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMZeTJFA2f4 Both my cars would be more than 10lbs.

Great vid, thanks for the info!! I'm looking forward to getting my ESC back to run my new XT8 with this motor!
