Ya know I am wondering the same thing, there must be chart for this stuff, or some sort of formula.
Here is my current setup, its a parking lot fun car
TC3
reedy ti mod 19t
novak super rooster
My new Motor
Trinity P94 8T Quad
LRP Quantum Pro Reverse
LRP Phaser
I got the motor, phaser, and am waiting on the ESC, I have no clue whats gonna happen, this is only my second buildup and I know nothing about gearing.
I want crazy high speeds but dont wanna wait 10 minutes for it to start moving either. Need to find a happy medium and I know it needs to be done with gearing.

i think with the stock gearing it should fly around 60 mph probably ... i think... maybe u should call a hobbie shop they will give you a pretty acurate speed with your car

I think 60 is about what I'm gonna shoot for, at least until I get a better radio.
My current setup is a nice airtronics, but its a.m. and I'm not too sure on the range.
who wants to get goin 75+ and lose their car, lol
