New hi-speed project

[BrianG]

I've done a few off-road conversions and now want something that I can hit really high speeds with (100mph+). I looked at a few electric sedan kits, but want something that is built more on a 1/8 b/truggy platform.

From what I can tell, the Ofna Ultra GTP would fit the bill. Plenty of chassis space, 2 speed, solid design etc. I was thinking of getting just the roller for now, but am thinking that getting the RTR and selling the parts I don't need (radio, engine, misc parts) might be the better way to go because it will have the body, steering/brake servos, and the 2 spd already installed. The RTR is listed as $320 and the roller is $190 at nitrohouse. I'll check a few other places first of course...

Then, to get the high speeds I'm looking for; use the two speed "tranny", 6s lipo, and a Neu 1512 motor set to run around 45,000 rpm. Since I'll be using the 2 speed, I think I'll need the Tekno clutch adaptor and just set the shoe spring very loose so it grabs right away.

Even though this vehicle looks to be the winner, I'm open to other ideas. One reason I like the Ofna one is the easy LHS supply.

This project would get started a lot easier/faster if I could get a few hits on this first (hint hint).

EDIT: Added info (more for me for future reference):

Tire diameter: 4.25"
F/R diff ratio: 3.1428 (44/14)
Stock 2 speed spurs (2nd,1st): 45T, 49T
Stock 2 speed CB (2nd,1st): 18T, 14T
Optional 2 speed spurs (2nd,1st): 44T, 47T
Optional 2 speed CB (2nd,1st): 21T, 17T

Ugg. To get a theoretical 110mph, I'm gonna need to get the optional spur/CB set, and get a 1512/2d (kv=2600) and spin that sucker at almost 58,000 rpm.
