If you look at the link below, you can see though that the resistance and power required going from 45 mph to 70 mph goes up substantially. While I know this is in reference to cars it the math is applicable. Then factor in the added drag of the e-maxx body and poor aerodynamics.

I am not saying your wrong, just saying that there is a lot to factor and I actually learned a lot from that page.
