Optimal racing speeds

[Patrick]

~35mph for me. I've geared it higher, but my lap times are worse. The fastest times I've done at my normal track it was geared for 32-33mph. I find slow and consistent driving is much faster than being overpowered.
A few weeks ago I did a 15 minutes final at a nitro track. My 4s packs won't do 15 min, so I used 3s2p 9800mah. I didn't change gearing, so it was only geared for 30, maybe even a bit under. Well I won the race, and had my fastest times of the day, which proved to me again that consitant driving is more important than all out speed. That was a big track as well, not a tight track with no straights.
