Good luck with your setup. My official isc 2009 open wheel record 81.75 mph
with (g)e-maxx has been beaten by a buggy. I can tell you one thing all that power isnt really needed your probably better off with smaller motor spinning higher rpm. I was running a 2700kv neu motor on 6s gear for >120mph and had way too much power. I was breaking the foam tires loose around 75mph going through traps drifting sideways. Probably would of went faster on 5s. Hopfully those grp tires do better. Nic cas had a fairly stock schumaker with a special body on 3s with a castle mmm and high kv motor do ~ 130mph. Btw just got back on here becuse I wanted to convert a hyper7 I have into brushless for my son. Checking out you thread

Emaxx vs Buggy are not even close to equal. The maxx is probably the worst platform for high speed runs. Always breaking traction.... I would know I have both.

I think the buggy will handle the power and turn it into speed as the maxx just cant hang with too much power Always spinning out, just not made for that type of running... I had the 1717 in my maxx just too much. But 1520 in my buggy handles the power AWESOME> My $.02


Maxx - FLM, MMM, CD Med.36x706s
Raja - FLM Ext. MM, 1512, 4s
SC8ight - MMM, 1520, 6s
D8T - MMM 1717 6s
