100mph!? come on, think about it, with that kind of speed what fun is driving it? you can't make turns without wrecking, there are very few places to run full speed. and you can barelky see your car form that far away! whats the point? i'd rather have fun hitting jumps and tackleing terrain then shooting a strait line.
still it's pretty cool that he can mod his truck into somthing crazy.
Get current with what's out there right now and you'll see where we are heading very quickly. Traxxas' "for the masses" brushless system can top out past well past 60+ mph with appropriately sized LiPos. The 100mph barrier is thisclose to being breached.....all due to brushless and LiPo. As for vehicle control, well, that all depends on your trigger finger, but expect the very fast speeds to only be obtainable on pavement and not dirt, mainly due to traction reasons.[8D]
