Put it on 3S, gear it to the moon (really-- gear it as high as you possibly can)and don't make more than 2-3 passes without stopping to let it cool down. The body is going to be a problem, but if you run it topless, or put a buggy body on it, you can easily be into the 60s or 70s.
And if I want it to wheelie? Is the velineon motor and 3s going to do that?

vxl set up will give you what you want with the right gears. watch your temps with a 3s though. at least 30-40c 3s will help i think with temps. i read somewhere that higher discharge rate will give you slightly lower temps than low discharge.
Here is my ANZA Slash/Raptor geared 26/86 with Proline Street Fighter tires. I couldn't get past half throttle and when I did it flipped it. I am running a ProMatch 3s 5200 50c. The school parking lot was not long enough to get much past half throttle. When going for speed you need a lot of room. Enjoy!!!
Was an xl-5, now its vxl-ent!
And for track racing , 3s will it be ok? It wont get too hot?

Most tracks will not allow 3s, only 2s batteries. FYI. 3s is ridiculous power for the track let alone the streets.
