60 mph needs about 2000 watts.

Thanks for the info, Young! I actually ran my g-maxx on 22.2 volts with the same motor, and 6s Kokam packs. I think the gearing is 15/51. The truck was extremely hard to drive. I am not sure how fast it was going, but it was way too fast for normal driving. i would guess upper 40s to 50 mph. I don't often do these speed runs, but I had someone interested ion the power output of the truck, so I strapped in the voltage and let r rip! I usually run the truck on 18.5 volts, which is still too fast for most tracks.

Mike, What speed controller were you using running 22.2? also what kind of run time do you think Ill get with a set up like that? Im thinking of going Lipo but still uneasy of teh blowing up stuff lol.....
