You need to post your top speed results once you have it all sorted
Ok, it's all great fun with this buggy. It can glide around corners unlike my Rustler vxl.
I bought myself a 24t and 27t pinion and kept my spur stock. With the 24t pinion and 2s Turnigy lipo i'd guess I was hitting around 35 mph. When I put the 27t on it was probably hitting around 40 mph, maybe more. It seems only marginally slower than my vxl that's geared higher. These are just rough guesses, but i'm very, very happy with these results. The esc is hitting 98.4F maximum temperature, and the motor has reached a maximum of 100.6F after about 10 mins of speedruns. Happy days.
Thanks so much for the good information & help.
Ps- it was quite windy and about 10c outside when I did this test, as it always is in Oldham. Lol
