A 100mph should be very doable with a 1/7 scale car and a single motor with off the shelf parts higher speeds are posible but at a much higher cost IE custom chassis and running gear to trim as much weight as posible custom spur and pinion gears duel motors ect.

Tires I found some foams awhile ago at towwer hobbies made by Jaco for the Tmaxx there the largest dia foams I have seen but I dont know if they are still avalable?

Layout wise I found in my CRT conv everything fit and was ballanced running the 1515 motor forward and duel packs in the back? pic 1

On my CRT.5 conv I tied the motor mount into the battery mount that runs from the front of the chassis to the rear pic 2 I found this eliminated just about all the chassis flex and made the car alot more stable at speed vers a friends CRT.5 with a std motor mount? If you can incorporate a mount like this in the XTM with it's exessive chassis flex it will help keep the car going in a straight line at speed.

Weight? get rid of as much weight as you can my CRT weighs in at just a little over 11lbs RTR with 2 8000mah packs you should be able to come in under 13-14lbs RTR?

Just a few things to think about when you are laying everything out.

BTW What KV 1527 motors did you end up getting?
