Default HOw to make a Traxxas Summit faster for CHEAP???

Just curious and thinking to myself..... I have seen people running the Kershaw motors (don;t know much if anything about them or how much faster it makes the Summit?), even saw a Summit with duel brushless VXL motors. That being said....Could you simply add another 775 motor to a Summit and would that make it faster? I was not sure considering the output speed of the 775 if it would even make it any faster by adding a second motor??

I WANT to do a Mamba MOnster W/Castle 2200kv motor out of an E-Revo but I need to put the big $ into my Brushless GST so I was just curious if there is a CHEAP way to make my Summit faster? One day i'm goign to convert to brushless.... but for now I like the crawling aspects and I don;t need it a ton faster just like maybe 10mph if possible..haha I guess thats IS a lot considering it's a heavy Summit?

Or would adding one Kershaw HO motor make it faster than the Titan 775? Again keep in mind I do not want to lose crawling capabilities.

I already run 2 - 2S 5800 Lipos in it now.. Any ideas fellas?

Spray. It's the only thing to make anything faster for cheap.

Throw a 200 shot on that sucker and it'll run 9s.

In all seriousness, that 775 is kind of a terd...if you want it to go faster, the only real answer is a Tekin RX8/2250 or a Mamba Monster/2200 on LiPo.

Haha Yah I know all about the Spray. I have it on the Viper and the Mustang

Yah the 775 is a turd, I guess if theres no cheap way i'll just wait until the Mamba Monster 2200KV on Lipo like I was planning. Thats ok though, my wife mainly drives the Summit anyway, I drive it mainly when i break my other trucks.

throw it in the backof your car, and go hit the expressway cheapest way to make it go faster. bungee tie it to your trunk for added effect/a interesting hood ornament.
