According to the speed calculator, you are geared for 41.7 mph, when the Lipo is at nominal voltage (3.7V/cell), though when at 4.2V/cell, the speed is at 47.3mph.

I would say you are slightly overgeared. Try dropping to a 13T pinion instead.

Or, with the 1600, try a 15T pinion, these both get you to about 39 mph on 18.5V, and just under 45 on 21V.

I always gear for just under 40mph (like 38-39) when at 3.7V/cell, and my Medusa is so cool, I could put my hand onto it for ages, and it would be fine.

This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
