are you using NiMH batteries? Could it be a gearing issue? I know the Rusty VXL box says 70+ mph on the box, but they don't tell you that it's only with a Li-Po battery, and it's more like 40 with a regular battery. I know the XL-5 you are referring too doesn't take lipo, I was just using the example with the box numbers.

beats the hell outta me. I'm glad to hear you got a rusty, I just got two of them yesterday. We'll have all kinda toys to run when I get down there. I'm getting a long pretty good with the track up here, so you're going to have to make a trip up here sometime.
