Who posted the 55/60? What setups?

I'm running a rustler and b4 with the Novak 5800 and they go 35-40mph.

I clocked my Nitro 4-Tec at 79mph using a Venom Speedometer on the little strip of road out in front of my house. It still had more to give. Using a Picco .15 XP with a CVEC.

With this I average speeds close to 30 mph on a dirt oval. With the ability to hit speeds like 60-65mph wide open on the striaghts.

Default RE: top speeds

I think most speed claims people make for their cars are bogus over all. I have a hard time believing when people say my car goes this fast. etc etc.....

I have a TC3 that will easily do low to mid 50's with current setup. But that is using 8 cells. I tired 12 cells and I blew up the ESC. Waiting for another one to be made. Hoepfully will have it next week. So far I have blown up 2 brushless ESC's trying to make my car go faster.

Yes, the Venom Speedometer is accuarte(within 1mph). I also have a Bushnell Radar Gun that I used to test. So the question is. Who wants to race?

I will race, bring it on....

Snellville how far is that from Charleston...

where you run? Got a place to run flat out? I go to the local Drag strip and sun, real smooth and most of the time during the week it is empty...

Let me know if you are up for it, make sure you bring something really fast,, you will need it....[:-]

If I had a third gear I might take you up on that Hyper. What do you have? I take its a Fusion. Have you clocked your car? Can you post a pic of your ride? I was thinking of someone who had something similar to what I have. I can go pick up a fusion for 260.00 and take you up on that offer. Got frequent flyer miles!
