I've got a brushless MT2 that has been gps-verified at 60 mph, and that was from its first run with the current setup a few weeks ago. I crashed at the end of the run (ran into a ditch) and broke a front arm and shock and haven't gotten the truck fixed yet. I've been on vacation, but I hope to get her up and running again next week to see if I can get an even higher speed. Here's the current setup:

HPI MT2 18SS converted to brushless
Mtroniks Truck controller
Feigao 540c 9L motor
4s2p Emoli li-ion cells
Proline Masher 2000 tires
52/14 gearing

I've also got a Stampede that has gotten up to 57 mph with the same setup as above except for the motor (Feigao 540 12s) and gearing (81/24). I hope to hit 60 with this one as well after some tweaking.
