I'd like to get well over 100, maybe 130ish, but I can only get a calculated theoretical speed of around 140, but with wind/drivetrain drag, I'll be lucky to get 110. I probably could get a bigger pinion if I went with a single speed setup, but I want to retain the two speed for just playing around too. A single gear set up for high speed is a lot for a motor to pull considering the size/weight of the vehicle...
