James, are you mad man , am I on the right forum, you are only geared for around 65 on 2s. This is reality, and those kind of #'s never work out. You know, I logged my 2wd, and was surprised. I'm running a VXL esc with a sensored Novak 8.5 motor. Geared 17/87 for around 34mph, on 2s. I figured it to be a mild setup but it still pulls 93 amps. Averaged like 12. With a heavy throttle and the gearing you are running, I wouldn't be surprised if you pull more then I do with my Revo.

I have a feeling the esc may have been the limiting factor and not letting the motor pull as much as it may have wanted???

I really think this to be the case. The 3800mmp is a different combo. The Sidewinder 3800 is a great budget system,it functions correctly, the 3800 MMP is just a great system it does what I want it to do.
BTW I did the math, and going from the 2400 4s , to the 3800 2s , I lost 13.6 oz's. That in it's self, to me seems quite significant in a 5lb vehicle.
Here's a little sample run of what 4s was like. It had a little more weight then I was used to.
