Try a brushless motor and a Lipo battery.

My mini t goes 40 mph (abour 65 km/h) with a mamba 6800 and a 2 cell lipo. If you have the cash you could build up a mini t that goes over 70 mph.

When I had a Mini-T I put a Mamba 8000KV motor system in it, with a 3C LiPo changed around the gearing a little with a bigger pinion, and a smaller spur, and it went fast. I would say it went maybe 55-60MPH, but I'm not shure. Like "hands" said you can make your Mini-T go over 70MPH with the right setup.

6800mamba, 4s lipo and a good gear combo. Oh yeah and some driving skills I don't want to hear that a mamba can only handle 3s lipo either. I have tried just about every combo in it and love the speed of 4s with either the 5400 or 6800. And yes they handle 4s quite well. Just have to make sure it is geared as low as possible at first then work up from there.

i thought only 3cell becuase i saw an ad for it in one of my rc mags that says up to 3 cell and up to 14 cell mah, but 4 cell might work, you just got to figure out hoe to fit it in

the 4s fits in my bluegroove just fine. Not in the stock chassis. It actually runs cooler on the higher voltage. I also set my curve real conservativley. I never use full throttle as we know it. Only a percentage of it.
