The Losi Speed-NT is an off-road stadium truck that is best suited for on-road, and will do about 65 mph after break-in and tune. It's not a strict on-road, nor a strict off-road, which at least opens up your options as to where you can run it.

Losi Speed-NT

Also, based on my experiences, Losi/Horizon Hobbies has great customer service. This truck is based on the XXX-NT, and Losi has a XXX-SCT Short Course electric truck that is based on the XXX platform, so your parts options are growing.
