obeast,

just a couple of quotes to consider from the forums as i have been reading more on 1/5 conversions:

"Neu, Plett, Lehner and Castle are the only guys with viable 1/5 inrunners I know about"

"I did a lot of testing with the 1717 motor and found that the top speeds are right about the same as with the stock gas motor, but the acceleration is much better."

that quote is with a baja conversion which weighs 28lb. it might do well on a 20lb conversion and could certainly reach that 40mph mark. but, if the buggy weighs 20lb now its likely to weigh a couple pounds more after redcat does their improvements to it.
