Its about 45mph out of the box with a 38 tooth spur gear, I upgraded to a steel 40 tooth, I'll see if it makes a difference.

Heres a quick pic of mine the small one is a Team Associated TC3 and is my lightest(mainly titanium) and fastest no joke hit can hit over 80-90mph. Very modified and a pain in the a$$ to drive in anything but a straight line and thats even tricky
The big one is a Team Associated MGT and is also modified mainly the motor though the thing can pull wheelies at will and from a stand still it can flip itself over.
The middle one is my newest toy its a Team Losi-8 an 8th scale truggy and i do have to say truggys/buggys are the way to go IMO theyll go street/offroad and you can beat the hell out of them and the stock motor is strong

I used to be into the drag stuff locally, I can't find any pics of the car but just like everyone else I had WAY too much money into it lol.
I ran an Ofna UltraGTP, kinda like the new Hyper One Seven, basically it was a buggy modded down to a road car. I had well over 800 in just chassis/suspension mods including custom carbon fiber chassis/mounts/struts along with custom turned aluminum shocks and a-arms. The motor I ran was a picco .26 outlaw on nitrous
The nitrous stuff does work for the r/c cars, but the fuel you have to run with it gets expensive. Anyways, I wish I still had a little t-maxx to play with here and there but that car took all of my money in high school lol.
