You could do it on 2s, But it would be better to go 3s and gear down for 40. less heat and stress etc.

[link=http://www.scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/_top_speed.html]play around with this[/link]

Is there any way to determine what you should have for a gear ratio? Ive seen the fomulia to get what you have BUT what should you aim for?

Like i currently have a 3s 4x4( Acme Raptor) The origional motor was undersized but it was a rocket! Now i have a 13.5T, Much bigger motor with a 23t pinion and it was alot slower. And got real hot!
