Yeah, drag racing with like 12 cells and TALL gearing and with batteries that can deliver 200 amp spikes and a controller that won't smoke with 200 amp peaks.

Anything propels the 12L3 well. That thing is so freaking light.

I didn't have the Feigao 6s, but the Hacker B50 6s. I've also had the Hacker B508s, C40 6s, C4012s, Lehner Basic 5300, 4200, 3600, 3100, 2700, 2100, XL5000, XL3100, XL2400, XL1600, XL1200, Lehner 1515, 1520, 1920, Feigao 10L, Plettenberg Shadow, Indoor II, Twist 42, Novak SS5800. I've tried big motors in small cars, and small motors in big cars, and from 6 cells to 29.6 volt lithium polymers and I gotta tell you, there are DEFINITELY motors that work MUCH better in certain applications and motors that just plain SUCK. The 6s motor just SUCKS for 99% of applications. Sorry, but that's my experience and plain truth. It can really be a BEAST on 6 cells IF you have the massive amp capabilities and a controller that can deliver it, but otherwise, it's a no go.

If you thought the 6s propelled hte 12L3 well, you should try a Lehner 1515 5 turn or 6 turn in that little vehicle. It's a 90 gram motor (3 ounce) and it'll turn about 70,000 rpm in your car with 6 cells. It'll take it to over 80-90 mph in 2 seconds - but you'll never find the traction!!

Check out the 1520 5 or 6 turn or C40 6s with 6 cells in your TC. You'll be doing oer 50 easily.

If you truly want to go FAST, you should try a combination of Lithium Polymer with a mild brushless but with higher voltage. That's what I'm doing in my TC4 - a 4200 KV motor with 14.8 volts runs insanely fasssst. The 14.8 volt 3500 mah weighs 11 ounces so it's much lighter than even a standard 6 cell pack.
