A 55t motor has a kv of about 1100, so the speed calc may be useful. On 2s figure 3.5mph with stock gearing on an ax10.

If that's the case, I'll just run it on 3S. I have a couple of Neuenergy 5000mah 3S batteries for the truck. Thanks.

The 55t motors definately perform well on 3s. With a 5000 pack you will get about 1.5 hrs of runtime, possibly more!

I use 2100mah lipos in my 2.2 comp rig and it does at least 35-45mins. And that is with a big outrunner. With the low gearing and speeds crawlers are setup for they barely draw anything.
