two speed
there is no dout that a serpent or any other all wheel drive rc car such as a tc3 will spank the RC 10 on true on road track with people who know how to drive. but, none of the people that i race with are professional racers, nore are we racing on a actual track. we play around in larg parking lots at night and we set up large oval and tracks and race for abuck a lap. it was only after my on road car died that i brought out my RC 10 to play. originaly the plan was to race in a strate line "drag" and yes every one there thought it was kind of funny. we lined them all up one serpent, two sonic gt's, one TC3, one fusion, and one T-maxx. to my surprise the RC 10 actualy pulled away right from the start and beat them all. After some time drag racing the guys with the on road cars chalenged me to race it on the oval track we had marked out. I did and too my suprise it did compete and did win. yes, it is true that the RC 10 does not take corners as well as the road cars but its only two corners, the RC 10 can make up for the slower cornering speed in the stragtht aways. "i do not have any clue how fast the RC 10 goes on the top side but it does move along all right and holds its own."
