Im with you for the most part. Its a good sales pitch, just like any advertising. It is possible to achieve the advertised ratings(under ideal settings). The perfect tune, and clutchbell change can get a 2.5 Rustler to run the 50+ mph rating. Ive yet to do it, Ive run 46 mph. With anything, read the fine print. Anyone with 1/2 a brain will know that things are always not what they appear.
