Re: What is your drivetrain's top speed?

Your poll has an issue; we clock the stock AM14U3 at 10.0 feet per second in the user guide (PDF link). (That uses 75% of free speed for calculations, to account for losses to friction.) If you meant it to be 10-13 (since the previous option is "less than 10"), you'd be correct.

As for Iron Kings, we'll be around 15 theoretical or about 13 in practice. 5.95:1 gearing, 4" HiGrip wheels.

(Full disclosure of the painfully obvious: I work at AndyMark.)
