2. A buggy is light enough, you don't need nearly that much motor to reach 100mph. You can reach 100mph on 6s with an MMM and a 1512 size 2650kv motor. Additionally, the extra kv over the 1717 makes gearing much much easier. I just bought a Hyper 8.5 buggy with a 2650kv 1512 for the exact purpose of running 100mph to blow away the xo-1's.
You can certainly do it your way, and it will be cool, but there are much easier ways.

1. The centre diff has drive cups which are set inside the diff meaning no grub screw is needed. With my layshaft design it will have to have a grub screw, so the drive cups are longer, meaning I have to use shorter shafts. I can't simply slide the cups further in either because the. I won't be able to access the grub screw
2. Fair comment, yes it would be far less hassle to break 100 with. That setup, but with mine I can basically run up to 8s and gear it higher. I'm hoping for considerably more than 100 with this. It's my first speed car though so I am sure things won't be quite that easy :P
