Kraton over 70mph so I was told by previous owner, but I just got it and I haven't ran it yet. My Jato I am pretty sure hits well over 65-70 (prolly more like 80 lol), but never clocked it. Granite should hit close to 50. I have a Kyosho Turbo Scorpion with a hot Castle setup, but I have never ran it (shelf queen). I am sure it's a bit of a sleeper. Ya wanna go?? Lol 😜
 
The only "built" one I had is my ofna gp2 ultra I think it is.

It has a Kyosho aston body, and had a 1/10mamba 7700kv. It was used for street racing at bestbuy osceola and kmart orlando. Car was raced around 2009ish, I picked it up 2012 I think.

I've been thinking of giving it a nitro setup again.

Other then that 50mph or so 1/8 stampede. I also have a 90mph axial 10.2. 90 all day long in the back seat. 😁
 
Planning on Building a rally car that should go around 75mph but other than that my Rustler 4x4 went 70 and my Kraton 6s went around 70 also
 
I would say this B-block Ofna LD3 ,but my RC10 Gt. with OS cvr 18 would give
it a run for its money off the line ,I dont have a recorded speed though ,because I am
not in it for the speed!.. :cool:

I saw that pic the other day. A beautiful car man. Do you ever run that one? If so I definitely wanna see it go.

Here is my recent run just not too long ago ,I dont run it much because its too
wild an makes me nervous ,an it isnt even hitting its peak ,I might break it back
out here in a few days an go ahead an lean the top end out ,when it does hit
second gear ,it gets sideways!

Yeah, I can see it was a little squirrely at first. But after your tires got warmed up it seemed to calm down a bit. That is a wicked looking little beast. Short wheelbase keeps ya on your toes 😉
 
My quickest is probably my 6S Typhon. I've got three different bodies for it that I switch out depending on my mood.

I also built an E version ,but wrecked it on its early stages of speed test runs an shoved it in the shed ,that
is why I lost interest in any type of speed runs!.. :hehe:

I am not big on speed runs either. It's far more fun to have the low end torque to have at the touch of the throttle. Give me a wheelie monster iver a speed car any day.
 
@cbaker65 That E-version is a looker!

Speed runs are an art form all in themselves, but get real expensive real fast. I pretty much stick to racing around parking lots with my street car, and dirt fields for my truck. My rock crawler/trail trucks are kind of self explanatory.

I am looking for the vid of its last speed run now ,however ,I did not get the crash on vid ,it was a spur
of the moment run an didnt have my camera!
I do have pics of damage though ,I can get it back out an do the work on it ,but the wreck destroyed
the ESC on impact ,so I will have to buy a new ESC an a 3's lipo battery to get it going again is all!.. :cool:
Here is the vid ,I have only have 3 short vids of testing ,but one vid was before a gear
change as I was experimenting with the car!
If I go back to it ,I can easily do 4's with a ESC to handle it ,the car it self has
all metal diff gears & the chassy is custom milled thicker aluminum plate!
