Default Make Electric as fast as Nitro

This is an idea for an article. You take pairs of vehicles like T-Maxx and E-Maxx OR TC3 and NitroTC3 and have your engineers rig the electrics such that they are as fast or faster than their nitro counterparts. I'm trying to do that now with my electric TC3. My brother has a nitro TC3 and it blows my stock electric TC3 out of the water. What should I put in my electric TC3 to make it as fast or faster than his Nitro TC3?

Brushless and lots of batteries for power.

The worst part is even if you do get going as fast...he can just re-fuel you'll have to re-charge and that takes far more time.

Modified electric has always been faster than gas but the duration of run time is the issue.
