Yes but that was with a plastic chassis and OE diffs. The speed would have been just closer to 40 mph.

The 33 mph is with an FLM chassis, hybrid bulks and 1/8 scale buggy diffs.

Why don't you just gear it back up to 40mph? Have you still not tried to modify the motor mount plate to fit bigger pinions?
It's better to keep batteries used together the same age and use or at least fairly close. Otherwise they could go out of balance easier and the old pack may go below the cutoff voltage while the new pack is still above, so the old pack may be over drawn.
Flightpower does does make 3s 4900's, so they it shouldn't be a problem to get. You could even split a 6s 4900 in half to have two sets of 3s to use with your trakpowers, which is exactly what I've done. Easier to buy 2 3s's though. Funny thing is that the 6s pack is only $5 more than the 5s pack.
Trakpower now has the 3s 4900 hard case packs as well, but I don't really like the wire setup than is shown in the pics. Are your 2s packs the 20c or 25c versions.

Ok, saw the other thread. I wouldn't mix c ratings.
