with a 6 cell and proper gearing around 25-30 mph with a 7 cell you can probally hit 35. this is on a stampede transmission btw.

Normally about $160 to $200 for a decent brushless system, novak systems are a bit higher.

If you want to go brushless i would say go with a mamba max system they are nice, with brushed i would say you will be going through brushing and cutting the comm if you run it a lot!!

I have a Mamba Maxx an MM5700 combo with a 6cell sub C pack in a TC3. It has enough *** to leave tire marks from all 4 wheels at almost any rolling speed(don't believe me, ask Rok_Dok, he hit a new Porsche doing it.). It will cost you more, but I haven't been more happy.
