It is geared very slow - I think my top speed with FiftyFive is just above normal walking speed...8km/h or so (I can measure with GPS tomorrow) |

I haven't tried it on my creeper, but on my WK tuber, with the 850 kv outrunner it is much slower than my creeper, but by switching only the motor to a 4600 kv and keeping everything else identical the truck will do a standing backflip on grass and launch over most jumps in an out of control manner. I would guess with a hot enough motor it would work, if you are going for semi-scale monster jam performance.

you could do it, but you will have a hell of a torque twist to deal with. best bet is if you get a creeper, get some 80 to 90 wt shock oil and stiff springs, either traxxas reds off of t-e maxx or axial firms.
