you spell goes like goes not gose

Wow, thanks Dom! I wonder, is MENSA knocking down your door? I'm thinking...no.

As to the speed question, I'm with 4U2NV, but it also depends on the engine in it and the gearing you are using, but generally what 4U posted is what you can expect.
 
its ok mensa is allways at my house thanks alot lol if yo know what that menas ... no didnt think so
 
it don't matter about the spelling dose can you answer my question please lol:contract:

There are many variables that determine how fast it will be, no two will be alike...IMO top speed is overrated!

As a matter of fact, I do know what Mensa not only means, but the requirements on being a member of Mensa, the correct grammar to use when using the word "Mensa", "always", "a lot", "you" and "didn't", not to mention your double misspelling of the word "Mensa" and "means" at the same time! If you're going to flame someone for misspelling a word, it helps if you can at least spell correctly (not to mention the spell checking feature this forum has.)

Now, Dan14, so as to not derail your question outright, any rig can go just about as fast as you want it to if you are willing to invest the time and money into making it as fast as you want. Factors that affect speed include the size of the engine, the CB and spur tooth counts, the weight of the rig itself, the size and compound of the tires and variables similar to those. Think of it in terms of a regular 1:1 automobile. I've seen folks take a VW Beetle (old style) and drop a 350 smallblock with a different transmission and those things flat fly. It's all in what you want to make of it.

That being said, getting a rig that runs so fast it's near impossible to control becomes frustrating. I have a little RC18T that I dropped a Mamba 8000 in and I tend to regret that decision every time I run it. It's wicked fast, so fast that it's a bear to control and tends to end up on it's lid more often than not.

There is no set answer to your question, but stock, right out of the box with standard gearing and a mid-range .21, I'd say in the 35-45 MPH range should be expected for top speed.

Hope that helps!
 
Muchos postes estúpidos últimamente.La velocidad es overated
 
As I read it, it was answered.

40-45 MPH.

As far as over-rated, I agree. It's hard to control at a high rate of speed.
I'd be looking at low end as well.
Just a FYI.
 
according to r/c driver article bone stock it went 37.9mph. go up one tooth on clutch bell and your easily into the 40's range
 
ye dont get in a strop i wasn't talking about the word mensa you bin lid its a member just beacuse you dont know how fast dans car goes i know dan
