im not slinging insults ur just wrong, an Axial .28 .32 whatever those motors blow, they are not quality engines. You did not say 528; that is a quality mill and I wouldnt doubt that its faster than a vspec. probably doesnt have the top end but more torque than anything out there i would say. You guys crack me up with the talk of these "budget" motors being so fast and so great, you can give anything alot of top end with a 30 tooth CB. Get real pick up a quality race motor and then play with gearing and you will be amazed. Just like the vids of ur 528 geared up, now THAT was fast but to hear that some axial is faster than a vspec? I stand by my comment that you would have to be on crack to believe that

I've seen a LSP-R with a Axial .28 clock 50mph+ on a GPS.

The axials aren't race mills. I've seen a few people have major issues with them not lasting, or coming with big air leaks from the factory. The budget .28's don't have the RPM potential of a race spec .21. What they do have is the displacement to pull the gearing off. A vspec isn't going to pull anything with a 30t clutchbell, nor will a Axial .28, or even a 528xr. No RC clutch setup out there could handle it without melting down.

here is an example, a Vspec and a 30vg. Similar price range. Assume both are bumpstart.

Start with a 13t, vspec is faster then. Keep increasing the CB, 14, 15...22..etc.and testing for terminal top speed and what you will see is that as the gearing gets higher the 30vg starts to catch up. What you will see is that the vspec will stop increasing its top speed as gearing gets taller, it does not have the mid-range torque to pull to higher engine speeds. While the 30vg has all that torque to play with and can push the taller gearing. So then the 30vg begins to acheive higher top speeds.

Put a 2spd into play and the vspec would do much better, the 2spd would allow one to push the taller gearing.
