It will go faster if you gear it down (numerically higher). I have a friend that has the same combo I have and he will eat my lunch if I am geared too high. You are geared for about 75mph, it'll never get there. For sure this is the reason you are have weak brakes. If my friend is geared 87/15 and I am 87/20 I can't even come close to catching him. We both run A123's and the 7700 in a rustler. It won't even pull a wheelie with that gearing in my truck
(87/20) Even his top speed is faster than mine if I am geared too tall. And I usually have to have 100% for the braking force and it will slow the truck from top speed but as the truck slows the braking force drops.
