I'm running 12/87 gears with the shortest tires I could find. Speed hawgs, I think. My batts are 4S 4Ah lipo packs. I didn't go with the 2P packs because I wanted to keep the weight down. All I do with this truck is drag race. Jatos don't have a prayer. Stock or modified.

From what I understand, the 5700 system is much more gear friendly on 3S lipo than the 7700, so you should be able to gear up and go as fast or even faster than I do.

The only advise that I can give you is to put some weight on the front of the truck. I use stick on wheel balancing weights. I also avoid cutting cooling holes in any part of the body that faces up. I just cut an air scoop in the side of the body next to the ESC to help keep it cool. Holes in the top of the body really serve to pick the truck up off of the ground when your moving at speed. I have my start power at low, timing at low, and 100% punch control. This helps to tame it off of the line, but when you're moving the wind is really your enemy. Just try, if you can, to minimize the amount of wind that gets under the truck. All of this is, of course, useless on a racetrack, but it's all stuff that I had to deal with when racing in a parking lot.
