Hi Jhunt!

Welcome to this forum.

40mph is easy to reach. A Wanderer 8/9XL with a Quark 125 and 14/16 cells can get you there.

If you can swing it, a more expensive (but also better) motor would be a Neu.

If you are planning on using lipo's a nice setup would be a 4 or 5S2P pack of maxxamps 4000mAh cells (the 2P means you will have 8000mAh of juice)

The differences between the two wanderer motors i just mentioned are runtime and speed. While the lower wind will get you more speed (and more heat as well) the higher wind will get you longer runtimes.

But with these setups come more hopups.

You need to beef up your diffs, and you need to ditch the stock tupperware drivetrain. You also need a steel idler in that singlespeed.

If you are looking for a milder setup, you could go for the novak hv-maxx, but that's not putting the B in Brushless..
