35-40mph..... I like to be optomistic sometimes. I figure the lighter the truck, and the more cells -14 or maybe even 16 with a few tweaks to the esc-, and it should do 40 without too much trouble.... its just the heat issue. But then Novak must have taken that into account surely given the 70,000rpm+ the motor would be doing on just 12 cells (4.5 motor).
It makes me so sad I didnt have a digital camcorder when I finally made that last run with the TXT-1- insane acceleration/wheel spin, and amazing topspeed for a 12lb truck. I base the speed estimate on my old madbull- it does 20mph stock, and the TXT-1 was easily going nearly double that (the amount of ground covered in the same amount of time). It lacks torque, but speed is impressive....
Well, if it has enough torque at the top rpm range, that is all that matters for speed.
