it would depend on the the type of driving you put the car in.

Flat out throttle yes but like a small track for its size maybe not

It should be about the same seeing that it has more power taking away more energy faster but rides smoother due to ball bearings therefore using less so it equals out.

thanks for the posts guys. I ordered it we will see. I also ordered ball bearings for it so it should even it out. I might order the 160 maH batter from flea bay so i might even see improvement.

yeah i know but li-po is out of my league, to be honest dont wanna spend $50 for battery and charger for $80 truck. Maybe later.


btw does 160 maH battery make any difference. they claim longer playtime and truck goes faster, is that true?
