That platform sounds much better than the crusher. I don't know how capable they would be to handle the high HP BL setup...

Mike had a 1y on his gmaxx this year monster bash. It was on 4S and supposedly it was running mid 40s... Heard some comment it did run a bit warmish (but not bad at all), but this was a hard running race, but it is a light vehicle so.... ??

If you really want to hit 50, I would suggest going upto 5S lipo w/ the 1Y (or even the 1512 2000 kv (2d?)) and don't overgear. The 2700kv/4S may work, but it will be an amp hog and may get things quite hot. If you ran w/ mechanical brakes that may really help the situation, but still.

I have a 8XL (~1900kv IIRC), and when I run on 5s its an absolute terror. Runs just under 50, but wheelies on demand at almost any speed. A better motor like a Neu on 5S will not suffer from a lack of power. Even if the top ends are close vs the nitro, the TQ and acceleration will be worlds apart.
