I did my first test run today. I used the A123 packs without the turbos to get a baseline speed. Geared 46/16, the truck got up to 38 mph by my gps. That's almost exactly the 40 mph predicted by Brian's speed calculator, assuming 0.5 in. radius of tire ballooning. With the turbos on full boost, I should be around 60 mph. It looks like I'll have enough speed without the turbos for racing, though. I'll just use the turbos for bashing.

The truck is a mess of wires right now, but I'll post pictures when I get it cleaned up some.
