@ shark,

that calculator should have tossed a warning/note at you that above 40-45 it's going to be off as air drag is a huge factor as you get faster
I'm sure your RC is fast, but it's not 76 mph fast
i bet money on that sir. it does atleast 70 no less, the car is also teeny tiny and i have it slammed to the ground with the biggest battery it will fit.
the calculation was also without ballooning.

ive been around rc's for awhile, and when a 3.3 4-tec looks slow, you know its cookin.
