We gear our prototypes for high speed because we are interested in high-speed behavior and know that low gear behavior will always be better than high-gear behavior.
This particular one was estimated to travel around 13fps after estimated losses. We don't have any sensors on it to test this, so I can't verify, but it is going somewhere in the neighborhood of that speed, with 4x CIM power.
This particular chassis tends to eat a battery every ~7mins. That's not all hard driving, there's some argument over dynamic performance behaviors and some calibration going on at the same time. About 5mins of actually driving. We change the battery when the radio reboots (we're running the radio to the 5v camera supply, not the nice regulated supply).
