This is on stock motor and ESC, 3S battery, 20t pinion, 50t spur, the larger wheels, and on level/smooth asphalt in 80° weather. I wanna hit 80mph. Then later I wanna hit 100

Only thing is: I get thru not even half my battery before the motor and esc get too hot and cut off from thermal overload. Fans are next

So I decided to try a 24-tooth pinion gear. It technically doesn't fit with the 50-tooth spur gear I'm using, but I modified the motor mount adjustment hole to make room (and it still barely fits in there). It hit 69mph today tho with the 24T pin and 50T spur. Not bad. I'm gonna get like a 45T spur soon and see what it'll do. Gear it so it'll do just one pass before it goes thermal cut out for the best top speed. I'm predicting over 75mph. What do you think?
