A couple of points;

The warmer the cells, the lower the resistance. Speed runs like cells that are warm & ready to go...I warm mine before a run to get the best from the first run or two. It works well, a lot of boat guys do the same. Give them a quick peak charge as they are warming too

Weight can be your friend with speed runs also however it does increase acceleration times

Ditch the bling

Remember posts #13, 14 in this thread...your thinking will evolve & you will understand the benefit of these comments

Not sure about your RC experience but driving a buggy in a straight line at 50 is easy enough, 60 gets a little harder. 70 is the threshold speed IMO, everything past this point is a challenge...100 is probably twice as hard as 70

You will need to spend time on your throttle & braking setup also. Braking at 100 is tricky also...I use some initial drag brake (say 15%) to let it settle off throttle & then brake (say 35%) to a slow stop
