What voltage are you running at? If 12V, changing to 24V can double your speed. I haven't seen anyone who's used the SP3 board recommend it. I've heard of people doubling there speed by switching to a Xylotex board. Also, the 85oz motors are probably a little weak for the 1/2-13 rod. You might want to try 3/8-12 or 3/8-16 acme. It's lighter, and the threads are more efficient, so it might help. I think the extra inertia from the hockey puck might smooth out your machine, but will probably also slow it down.
