What systems are you running?

[Semi Pro]

35-40mph .......... depends on how bad the tekno clutch is slipping

it all depends on the gear ratios and what motor mount you get

with the tekno mount you have to use a clutch so you will be limited to a max gearing of 17/36

i have close ratio gears in mine (i track race, not bash)

i run 5 cell lipo

with revo responce tires (5.1 in tall)

you end up with a top speed of 41mph.............but, the clutch will slip,the slipper will slip,your batteries wont hold 18.5v under load and many other things factor into lowering your top speed and you end up running alittle over 35mph


a revo conversion can be pushed to almost 100mph with the castle 2200 motor,6cell lipo, e-revo transmission and foam tires............. just depends on what you $ want to spend

oh my rev will go 70mph...
but can i borrow some NEU energy batteries?

traxxas over rate their cars, sure they will do their advertised speeds...but you need more than the optional gear ratio to do it reliably!!

what do you mean "that's it"?
40mph is pretty quick if you have ever driven one, and when you still have enough get-up-and-go to pull a wheelie at 30mph then you forget all about it!!

but as general rule, electric is faster if you spend the $$ on good batteries.

DONT BUY MAXAMPS!!
