You exagerate when you say "65MB" file right? Cuz it's only 46MB. You didn't download that on 56K I hope??!! No, actually the setup in the crash video was eight 600mAh AAA cells and a Watt-Age 370. Which actually wasn't near as fast as the same motor with eight, 1100 mAh 2/3A cells. (Both running a 14T pinion). The motor just didn't last very long. Neither did my Speed 300 on 8 cells. But now I believe the fastest set-up to be 8+ cells and 20T+ pinion with this $7.50 motor. Dude, it's unreal. You gotta try it. And I just realized too that with such a huge pinion gear, you don't need to shave away the rear axle housing as much as I did. You may not need to shave it as all. You just need to mod the rear deck. But even that doesn't need to be modded if you're running a 150mm WB. Anyway, take a crack at it. I want to go 9 or 10 cells, but I think I'll stick with the 20T pinion. It seems to be a perfect balance between top end and torque.
