I'd say not very, around 5-7mph because u can only fit 4AAA cells into it and radio shack makes the motors, come'on now, have some common sense, its radio shack...i'd say u just bought yourself a desk top display.

What you can do is get rechargeable batteries, and install a 6-cell mod. You can fit 5 cells in any body, and 6 in some, not sure which... Then you can either buy a very pricey ($60) motor that a guy at www.xmodsworld.com . That supposedly goes 20mph+ or more, I can't say for sure, but thats what I've heard. You can buy a the stage 2 motor upgrade, and do a spinbrush motor upgrade on the topspeed motor. That way you get super low-end torque and the best top speed. Hope that helps.

bribri543 r u serious? its true that u can fit a 5 or 6 cell in there but all you're going to do is burn up the motor. remember, the x-mod doesnt have a esc, just a chip with a resistor to limit the voltage.
