Mine goes pretty fast, its 18lbs dry and with the P80 I run full throttle passes with no limiter on it, so it can take it. I dont feel its as clean as a design as a bobcat so they may be faster, but I enjoy mine, Ive had a nice bouncy landing with no damage to anything so its strong enough. The struts are pretty sweet and I recommend them.

Im not sure what you mean by groovy, but goes where you point it.....
