So, if you guys wanna hit 60 mph with an emaxx, you need to be able to pump out 2000 watts. In NiMH, that means you need at least 20 good cells pushing 100 amps each.
Too bad my last attempt the thing wiped out and busted off the rear shock tower and shock!!! Good thing chassis didin't break.

That's precisely the test I've been looking for.
Yesterday I had a 30120 and Lehner 3100XL in my shopping cart, still deciding on the battery factor though. I think a pair of TP8000-3S4P (11.1v) should do the trick and get my truck to 50mph on the straights.
I calculated (based on weight) that 1.5hp (@50000 rpm) is what I need to do 50mph, w/ the correct gearing (stock, like yours ;)).
You don't happen to have data on current draw, do ya? This would help w/ understanding the runtime potential and average.
Your info seems to indicate that my goal (50mph) is extremely do-able.
