I think I am going to stepup with the Havoc 3s and a good 3s lipo. Should have bought Rob's
You should have! No duties at the border and max three days shipping. I got a good price for it, though, so I can't complain.

I went out today with the road rage tires and it got up to 140 in ten minutes and kept climbing to 155 so I shut it down. I am going back to the 19T and shouldn't compare gearing to 2s setups with 3s - gearing should be shorter with the higher voltage.

The road rage tires don't grip as well off the line as the dirt works (or any off road tire except the dirt paws). The truck usually spins the tires instead and even does so at speed when pegging the throttle. Their strength is lateral traction and for drift control.
