Default RE: Performance Claims

What I was saying in my previous post is that I think the MPH claim is a misprint and should have been KPH....I think Redcat just got that info from the manufacturers in KPH and put it on their website as MPH by mistake...

I'd bet the Hurricane XP's are pushing 45-50 MPH...my part-time helper here at my body shop is a deputy sheriff and when it warms up outside again he is going to come down some evening when he is on duty and clock mine for me...now this won't be a TRUE test of the "out of the box" since I have put a higher perf motor in my buggy...but it will give us a better idea....and maybe I'll throw my factory motor back in and clock that too....it still runs...not smoothly at idle or anything but still screams when you are in the throttle...so we'll do some actual speed tests with an actual certified and calibrated radar soon when we have some time.
