I was checking out the XTM Grizzly the other day at Hobbypeople, and the guy there was telling me that the Grizzly was really fast. So I asked him how fast and he said it would do 58mph!

My first thought was that this guy had been in the back sniffing some concauction of 33%nitro and CA glue combined and didn't know what the heck he was talking about. Then I remembered the little mini pocket bike (motorcycle) that my brother had (same basic chain saw motor I'm guessing?), and that thing did about 20-25mph depending how heavy the rider was.

So I guess it may be possible that something with the same motor and 150lbs. less and the propper gearing could go that fast?

Anyone have any experience with this beast or know about it?

Add another RC car to my Christmas list.:C:
