RE: pede speed
Adding 1 battery cell or going to a larger pinion or a 15-14 turn motor would do it in a drag race. YOU'd have to go to a 10-12 turn motor to beat it on a track.

Anything with a 14 turn or less would probably drag race the rustler and win. These guys here are all over recommending specific motors, I can't because the only one I used is A Tower hobbies 14 turn quad.

RE: pede speed
You really can't gear anything lower than a 14t motor in a pede. The rule is that you go 2 teeth below the # of turns on the pinion. There is a rock crawling manufacturor that makes 10 tooth but I'm not sure if that'll fit with a 90t spur.

RE: pede speed
those team orion pro bb motors i hear are quite good. or just up the cell by one. instead of trying to find a 10/90 why not just get like 15/86?

brushless motors normally arn't reffered to as turns but more the kv of the motor (the vxl is 3500kv). for the reccord tho, the velineon motor is considered a 10 turn motor.

RE: Help with speed
i have a pede, burnt the stock titan, got a speed gems 15t quad. its way better than the titan, both in accel and top speed. it cost me $33 at lhs.
also, ball bearings will help with speed.

RE: Help with speed
I have a speed gem 15t dbl in my XL5 pead geared 16/87. I allso have stock Titan rustler geared 23/86.. the pead definetly will out run the rustler on straight out. On a track the rustler wins 8 /10 times(depends on the corners on the track and the driver)
It's a bit tuff to wheelie geared this high though on 6 cells .But with 7 cell no problem.

RE: Help with speed
the motor is important,
but almost as important are what battery packs you're running
a good quality 6 cell pack is faster than a cheap 7 cell pack
get a new motor ($40-60) and a good battery pack ($40-50) and you'll do fine
