i was gonna say...66mph is nothing.. well, its fast but i have seen plenty of brushless setups do that. Kulangflow from here on the forum has a revo that i would be willing to bet does at least 55mph. and that is just his regular setup. thats not trying to be "fast" or anything. all he would have to do to break that 66mph is change his gearing. and yes, the new brushless revo coming out will definitely do. i guarantee within a couple of weeks there will be tons of videos on you tube with guys trying to break 100mph.
nitro is not bad. i was just bitching about it. just pointing out the reasons we all like brushless. 1/8 nitro has given us most of our rides we all like. the truggies, buggies, and MTs. if it werent for brushless i wouldnt be in this hobby most likely. i had electrics as a kid and loved them. then i got a hobby grade nitro 6 years ago and i had too many complaints. 4 months ago when i walked into a hobby store for the hell of it and heard about this somewhat new electric technology called "brushless' and that is was more powerful and faster than nitro i was so excited. needless to say i have been addicted ever since. or as Star likes to put it..."afflicted." i like that. its a total affliction to my wallet. lol.
@ Rivermaxx,
have you converted a 1/8 yet? do you have a setup with a Neu motor and enerland cells? take the opportunity to do this and i am willing to bet you will never go back to your nitro. you may keep them still but your new brushless would outperform your nitros in every single way. not trying to hate, just convert you to the light. we need to baptize you with brushless!!
