I can't remember but I think I read somewhere about alot of guys having trouble with the Speed-T transmission. Anyone heard abou this?

You need to realize that your gonna need to spend more money to get rid of the pitiful tires on the speed-t. Also, you can get $25 off the Rustler VXL at Tower. And as far as the Speed-t being faster, I doubt it. The Velineon motor is bigger than your standard S-size motor. 54mm long rather than 48mm. Adds a lot of torque to it. This means you can gear it higher and go faster even with the lower RPM of the motor.
I got two Mamba max 4600 motors and they didn't even come close to the power output of the Velineon with all of them on 3s because of the limited gearing for the smaller motors.
