i honestly think i was at some point doing 200 in the 181 pass ...but had to shut it down i could def feel i was going faster and heard the engine screaming with the 150 pills..lol

i would have to say it is capable of a 200 and some change.

Too bad you didnt have a cheapo gps in the truck

Congrats on making it back safe, be careful next March, hopefully the winds wont be so bad.

How'd slowing that thing down from almost 200mph go?

And why are you playing around so much with the "little" truck instead of taking the big dog out of the yard?

On the 181 pass video..if you look closely, it looks like the hood distorts during the high speed run and then "pops" back into shape when he slows down.

Good run, looks badass!

the slow truck is a bit more fun to play with than the big truck..lol

Awesome job, congrats! Very cool to see a truck getting up near these speeds.

I'm sure these trucks have a lot of wind resistance and turbulence under the cabs at those speeds. Any thoughts on installing some aluminum plates to smooth out that belly? We use them in offroad for protection and air flow.

Nice run Flaco! Way to set the bar once again!!! I was watching that hood action too, wonder what else on the truck was crying for mercy!

What kinda drive-shaft, gears and tires are you running?
