Speed with this truck is like **** on a bull USELESS !!!!!! Monster trucks are made to smash stuff do wheelies rock crawl ect ect ect !!!!!!!!!! want speed go get one of those 100 mph street cars or a jet plane or somthin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! too much flat out speed tears through these trucks in no time !!!!!!! and you have absolutely no cornering with this truck if your in to trucks for speed get an lst or somthing and mod it up youll go a lot faster but it wont hold up in a crash ............. what im trying to say is it seems like different trucks are intended for different uses some bashing some raceing some flat out speed. in the end though It your toys so do and think what you want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
