How fast are the VXLs really are?

[Just go Play]

andy85: what gearing are you running and do you know what speeds you are getting? Vxl stampedes are just silly fast on 3s but I would be surprised if your HV4.5 could not reach the same speeds if geared right.

FWIW in the case of my HV6.5 I found that motor ran its best (smoothest and fastest) when used with the novak hvmaxx esc. I tried it with the vxl-3s both un/sensored, mamba max unsensored, and mgm 16018 unsensored. Of those 3 I thought it was better on the MM (which ran cooler then the novak) but not as smooth or fast... go figure.
