My new race car... and it's a V-8!

I tried it out with the 16t pinion; seems way under geared. Motor spooled up way too fast, not much top speed (only geared for 33mph). Although this motor has always spooled up fast, it just seemed to go to max rpm almost instantly. Motor temp was 150 (about usual), but the esc (MMM) was only about 100 and lipo was 85. After 10-12 min run it only used about half of the battery capacity. I put in a 18t for the next try... about 37mph. Biggest pinion I have is 19t, which gives about 39mph, about the same as in my old buggy. If I need more I will need to place another RCM order.
