151 kph / 93.82 mph with Tamiya TA-05
Finally got something makes me happy, and satisfied. I went to run my car, and I got 151kph/93.82mph on my radar. The weather was wet, and the street is very good, and clean, but sloppy (this is one of the reason explains why my car's speed is 93 and not more).
My car is Tamiya TA-05 4WD belt drive with the following setup:
ESC: Mamba Max
Motor: Mamba CMS-7700
Battery: Flight Power 4s lipo
Servo: Futaba S3050
Internal gear ratio: 2:1
Spur gear: 75T
Pinion gear: 30T
Total gear ratio: 5:1
Body: HPI Corvette (modified, wings are added)
Now it's Neu turn to break 200kph :)

134 kph/83.26 mph with Tamiya TA-05
Today I went to test my car at 5pm. The radar was reading correctly, and I got 134kph. After a while, the radar gun gave me wrong readings because the batteries are dissipated.
This test was unsuccessful because of the wrong reading. The first 2 runs, which are in the video below, are successful reading. The speed of 2 cars which passed the radar was approximately 110khp and below.
I have just replaced the batteries of the radar, and I'm going to re-run the car again with mamba max.
The video and the picture are below. The weather in this run was very wet (In Kuwait), and the temperature was approximately betwen 38 to 42 celsius.

148 kph / 91.96 mph with Tamiya TA-05
I just came from testing my car, it was 6:15am. The place which I ran my car is a new spot. I think I will stick with this spot until I find another good spot. The length of the road was approximately 2km to 3km, but there were a lot of big cars (6 wheels) that their speed was between 60 to 80kph, and I can't take my rest there. Once I found another spot I will run my car there.
The car was running very fast, it was 148kph. Below is the picture of my run. I'm so sorry because I don't have any video,I regret for that , for this test since my phone came is a cybershot and its video quality is very low. In addition to that, my phone camera (video only) is not working, once I push record it stops recording immediately because of the software damage. Anyway it is an old phone. Next time I will try to borrow my brother's camera.

115 kph/71.45 mph with Tamiya TA-05
Today I have tested my car again, and I got 115 kph/71.45 mph in the last run using Mamba Max 7700 with 4 cells, and the gear ratio is 5.175. The parking lot was not long enough, and it is approximately 170 meters. I still didn't give it the full throttle, and I feel that car can do more than that it does.
I will try to find another spot next time. Here are the video and a picture of my run and radar.

112 kph/69.59 mph with Tamiya TA-05
I went to test my car with my friend last week, and I had several runs.
Before the last run I got 105 kph, and I got 112 kph for the last run.
By using google calculator I got: 112 kph = 69.5935735 mph
After passing the radar I continued to push my car more, and I got 77 mph with the venom speed meter which is installed in the car.
Note that the energy of the battery in the last two runs was almost fully dissipated. I tried to discharge it completely but i was unable to discharge it since the battery has low energy and its voltage was 12 and something. So I fully charged the battery, and I got 16.8v. I hope next time I run it with a fully charged battery.
The total gear ratio was 6.21, and I'm going to reduce it to 5.175.
below are the video and pictures of my test:
