RE: 4-tec really hitting 70?
I work at a hobby shop and all we sell is traxxas so I've seen every car they've made. I've raced a 4-tech with a 2.5r and I could beat him all day around the track and it was pretty even when it came to a drag race. Now i've seen and driven the 3.3 and yes if you could keep the thing in a straight line it would beat most modifides right out of the box, but in my opinion traxxas made a bad move by putting that kind of horse power in a car that can't handle it. They should have spent more time redesigning the car to handle better. And the way I interpreted it was that my car (modified), wasn't as efficient as a stock 4-tech.
