A ten tooth pinion would get you half of scarlets speed at 55mph with a very heavy setup. I'm thinking 8 tooth pinion if thats even possible. Originally I was thinking you didnt have enough battery to produce those types of current draws. Apparently you do, but it looks like the weight of your setup with the overgearing is what did you in.

I think everyone should own a wattmeter that buys a brushless vehicle. Its really helped me keep my setups in line. Brian's RC speed calculator works just as well. If only we could get more people to use it ahead of time.
