How much more speed are we talking?
I have a HPI Sprint that has a Tacon 3500 motor. Currently on a full 2s lip it does 34 mph (Im going to try and post a pic but Im using my phone and am not sure it will work). Can anyone give me an idea of the mph increase Id expect ti see changing ONLY the motor to the 4420kv motor? Same battery same gearing.

My guess is 43.2 mph.
Ok, seriously around 40 or less.

I was thinking somewhere around 38 to 42mph myself. Sweet!

Go for a four-pole BL 550 size motor, 2000Kv range w/ a 3S then talk to me . . . . .

not sure my 60 amp esc can handle that. But the reason I chose the 4420kv was because i can still run (and plan on running 3s). I just didn't want people saying just go 3s cause obviously that would make even the current setup faster. I mainly run 2s though

Okay then. Either you're hard-headed, hard boiled in the head hard broiled in the head, or you are a POT SMOKER. Bad Pot Smoker! What makes you think you can only benefit off a 2S w/ a 4200Kv system? I mean, really?

RE: How much more speed are we talking?
I'm not quite sure what you are talking about. I assure you I don't smoke pot. I'm also fairly sure your not understanding my question. I can benefit going from a 3500kv to a 4420kv motor while staying with the same battery. Either way the motor spins higher meaning the car will go faster. I thought you were a pretty cool dude before, but NOW your just an *******.
