I agree, I have a T4 that when i run a 3s lipo, i thought it was in the 50's, but with a radar it was only 45

I've been meaning to get a radar but all my budget now is toward a Jammin CRT conversion that will get RC truck of the year when it's done! I just used a buddy to time me over a 100 foot stretch, and calculated the speeds. You'd be surprised how repeatable the measurements were. But in all likelyhood, it's around 45, not 50. I've seen pedes hit just over 60 but they needed 5s voltage and the motor couldn't handle it for long. Personally, anything over 40 is a waste to me for a truck. I wouldn't think of doing the drive along method. Once you get a little pede going 45 or so, tracking straight is not too easy!
