Normally top speed isn't an issue especially racing but sense your bashing thats a different story. You can always change the clutch bell gear to something with 1 or 2 more teeth to get more top speed if you want it but the ravager is basically a comp buggy with a big .28 size motor on it. I can't tell you how fast it will go because I have no idea but most rtr buggies do somewhere in the 40 to 50mph range. The Ofna force .26 that comes in the comp is somewhat of a cheap motor they do get some odd problems with them at times and they run hot compaired to most motors but I don't know how that .28 that comes in the ravager will be for a motor.

Mayhem might hit close 55 with the large restricter plate that comes with it and some room. If you do end up with some extra cash and get a mayhem and race on a built track with it the handling really does suck out of the box. There are people who run the at my local track and changing to medium springs and some small adjustments to shock position really helped those buggies a lot and handle pretty close to the higher end kyoshos. ANY buggy you get is going to need some tweeking (some more than others) to get it handling right on track so just ask around for tips... as for bashing just start it up and beat the hell out of it.
