    I recently achieved 30 with a Tamiya 10.5 T sensored brushless motor, TBLE -02S ESC, a 2S Lipo and a Traxxas TQI transmitter / receiver. The gearing is 25/64. Final drive is 6.66:1. I used the TQI because of the very fine control it offers with the Bluetooth connection to my phone. I plan to go with a 29T pinion in the near future. I will also try it with a NHIM battery to see what difference that makes. The TSM assistance on the TQI system really helps keep it going straight with only 4% assist. Do you know what your tire compound is? I think having the proper tires makes a big difference. You have a very scenic "test track"! I am in USA/NJ and have to use a parking lot! The video was fun to watch. Sorry about the stuck gear! (PS What I really want is an Arma Felony!)

      Love the comment, thank you. I’m lucky to have a nice straight flat seafront outside my house. I think I’ll have to go lipo and brushless next. Still haven’t tried to fix the motor yet, keep forgetting about it. Using contact foam tyres at the moment. It’ll sit on the self for a good few months now as the winter weather hits the UK. I would love to find a good parking lot, but here the car parks, as we call them, are all usually full and charge to enter them. Thanks for taking a look at my video.

    wouw only 22mph on the RZ motor that's kinda underwhelming :o that said i have no idea what mine runs :P (it's offroad anyway so if it hits 22mph off road it's probably about to do a quadruple barrel roll :P) but that does make me happy i went with a 13 euro ali express ball bearing'd 17T rather then a RZ at 45-60 bucks, i mean i already have a 64/25T setup already but 27mph at that level of investment would be dissapointing (also on NIMH, LIPO has enough instructions that i'll probably burn the house down :P)

    The body looks amazing! (The one that's not on the M chassis) Great work! The shell you put on the Monster Beetle is weird isn't it? The front end reminds me of the New York Taxi cabs??? Am I wrong? lol - something doesn't quite look right...I guess that's why Tamiya is known for the incredible details of their bodies. That being said though...the body looks fantastic on the Monster Beetle! Weirdly it kinda suits it!

    That isn't a bad body at all! Really like it. With the front valance under the bumper you could look at photos of actual minis and cut it to shape leaving less under the bumper and bringing it in at the edges. Also, with the headlights you could try a gentle heat of a hair drier and press the small creases out. That works quite well. Great job on it, looks cracking.
