The 5700 castle motor on 3s in a 1/10th TC will be plenty, I get 60mph no problem, gearing up will get you even more. If you really want 4s, just use the castle 4600 motor, 80 should be no problem for that set up. But as other said, a 1/8th scale would be a better bet. Once I started getting my TC up to 60, finding any asphalt smooth enough becomes a problem. The 1/8th stuff can handle a bit rougher terrain (most asphalt around here).
