55°c is fine, the speed control ought to cope with well over double this temperature.

Don't be fooled by speed, it'll just hinder your learning curve. If you have 100% control of the car at the speed you have, perhaps put in a much faster motor - but then turn down the top speed (if you can) through the tranny - and then keep increasing it (this means it'll cost you nothing to go faster when you are ready to!!).

I assume that you are racing in a 13.5T controlled motor class. Are you running the speed control as it came from the factory or have you changed the firmware? With that speed control it is possible to change the firmware to increase the speed hugely. There is a long thread on the RCtech forum about Speed Passion advanced timing firmware, but I'd suggest talking to people at you club first.

Beware though, it is easy to destroy your motor doing this if you don't really know what you are doing.
