I found this info about the mini LST:
STOCK
I got an average speed of 16.5 mph on a completely stock Mini LST using the stock battery and charger. I charged the pack for 6 hours, although it only needs 3 for the first charge. I received about 10 minutes of run time of running up and down my street passing the radar gun. I could have kept running for another 5 minutes at least. The motors were a comfortable warm. Same for the ESC. I have a Bushnell Velocity radar gun, which has an accuracy of +/- 1 mph.
Run 1 - 15 mph
Run 2 - 16 mph
Run 3 - 15 mph
Run 4 - 17 mph
Run 5 - 17 mph
Run 6 - 18 mph
Run 7 - 17 mph
Run 8 - 16 mph
Run 9 - 17 mph
Run 10 - 17 mph
Average - 16.5 mph
What are your official speeds? Tomorrow I plan to charge the battery at 2 amps and then run it. Then try it at 4 amps. Then I will eventually solder on some Deans ultra plugs so I can use some of my Mini-T packs. Too bad the ESC is recommended for 7.2V. I got a 9.6V pack I want to run. But I'm not going to be the dummy who tests it.
Mamba 6800Kv
I ran it today. Here are my speed results! Mamba 6800Kv with a United RC 650mah 9.6V Mini-8 pack peaked at 4 amps. I will be putting the stock system back in, and probably go for dual United RC K4 motors.

Run 2 - 23 mph
Run 3 - 26 mph
