Right, 5S, got that wrong.
But there is not much to help: Use a bigger pinion/smaller spur gear if you want to go faster.
I geared my g-maxx for 75-80 kph and it runs fine.
But easiest way is to just gear it for your wanted speed (75 what? kph? mph? huge difference!) and monitor the temperature of motor, esc and batteries. I think everyone who bilds a truck like your's or mine should have a infrared thermometer.
Building a truck for severel hundred dollars, motor/esc combo for another 200-300$ but but saveing on a thermometer that you can get for 10-30$ allways seems a bit strange to me.
Because it's one of the easiest ways to check if everything runs cool and healthy.
