Actually, in all honesty. It's not really the peak power of the motor that will get you high speeds, it IS the size of the motor, we are talking real world here.

I took my emaxx to 50mph with only 580 watt, what did I use? I powered it from two large DeWalt 820 sized drill motors, and dual EVX esc. The setup had massive torque enough to spin the tires at up to 30mph on pavement (with a lowered maxx). However this setup was a amp monster. They are nice motors too though. For only $30 dollars a motor, and the cost of a second EVX you can have some pretty potent performance.
