It all depends on what mill you put in it!! My self i have a pcr w a ws711 in it and it runs around 45mph. i had a cop clock it with his radar gun at 38 but my clutch was slipping bad.and he said he couldn't get a good lock on it at the time

I questioned that too, but upon re-reading his post, I realized that he wasn't claiming it went 70 MPH, but instead it was doing about 70 feet.
Now I believe it.

Not a very good one, if it only ran 70 feet.

I think that posting without hardcore proof is very unlikely that this happened.Been said many times. I have a buggy and 70 mph doesn;t seem likely with a 13t CB single speed ( I am guessing as this a standard )

I think that Woody and all of us are saying ...SHOW US THE PROOF!!!

He edited it. Check post #6. It's a quote from the original. 70 MPH? No way.

Yeah it may look fast but 70 MPH is FAST. My stock Storm buggy can take my Rustler in a drag race,but only b/c it has better traction. And the Rustler will do between 45-48MPH.I would say a hopped up bugggy will do around 60MPH,then more speed will run into the big $$$$. A 4-tec will do around 60 MPH BTW. Just my
