Yeah, I'd agree. BTW, the Novak ss5800 on my B4 with 6 cells has hit over 40 mph. That's with a 30 tooth pinion and 87 spur and stock tires. With 2s lipo, it went about 43 mph. I figure on 7 cells, it should hit mid to high 40's if geared for max speed. This was using Bushnell radar gun AND GPS. So, you're buddy is not BSing you.

You have to make sure the numbers are correct as Mike has said. I've never really trusted Eagletree or Venom for speed - expecially in monster trucks or STs due to their major increase in tire diameter. That's why I like GPS for speed, and ealgetree to monitor voltage and amp draw. I'm suspecting even that might be off a little too - my "2000" lipo packs had over 2400 mah using eagletree but my charger only says approx 2000 mah.

BTW, Mike, did you ever get it setup? What vehicle? What test?
