I think the 5700 would be a great setup. A RadioShack 6 cell 3300 pack will give you around 25 minutes of runtime. They perform better if you feel like breaking down the pack and rebuilding it into a SxS pack. With 17/81 gearing, that will put you in the 30+ mph catagory. Need more speed? Make an 8 cell pack and you will be in the 40+ mph range. Still need more? Get a 3S LiPo and you're going to be in 50+ mph territory easy. The 5700 is one of the most versitile motors out there, IMHO. Those numbers are coming from a B4 buggy, and it's geared pretty conservatively, you can go far more insane from there. For instance, I have a 21T pinion...i don't think i'm gonna put that on there, haha! (best guess for that is 60+ mph)

The MM has plenty of power and torque to push a heavy truck around.
