It won't matter what tires you put on there, it won't hit 144mph. The wind drag on a vehicle is quite substantial at that speed. It takes serious power and/or a very aerodynamic vehicle to get to that speed. The speed calculator is accurate to about 50ish mph before wind and other drag forces skew the calculation too much.

Like I said, who wants to figure out how much wind resistance there is at that speed. @ 50 the body of a stock revo seems like it wants to fly off. Nevermind 145:018: I get giddy just thinking about the idea nevermind how unrealistic it is. Makes me want to spend the $75 on parts to find out. Then rebiuld my entire revo from scratch after it wrecks.
