Someone at the traxxas forums is setting a Revo land speed record with the MMM 2200 combo and some hobbycity lipos.

The good news is that everything held together! The bad news is (and only if you call it bad news) I didn't hit 80. It did 76.7 I think that is all the stock truck will do with the cheap 3s Zippy Rhino 4900mah 20c batteries. I used 26t pinion and a 53t spur. I have on order a 25t mod1 pinion and a 34t mod 1 spur. Plug those numbers into the calc for the fun of it. Here is a pic of the ride height.

The zippy's cant be that bad if they just set the speed record for an E-Revo. lol
At the end of the day that thread is good publicity and will get people excited about this stuff. The last thing they want to see is a post about how he is going to blow his MMM due to ripple currents. Sometimes doing great things on a budget is more satisfying than dumping hundreds of dollars on some quality batteries that we know will break the record. After that last post everyone is going to be putting MMM's in their trucks trying to beat that last guys record. I'm not sure if thats a good thing or not though.
