Sorry about that. That video looked similar to another members video, but I just couldn't remember their s/n.

They are offering a Buggy now with the Picco name on it, but I suspect their close association with Ofna will mean that it is a rebadged Ofna Buggy of some sort. Here's another one of those pokey trucks [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozozlgcw8Ss]of mine[/link] I claim 20 mph for this one too, I am pretty sure it will do 20. [8D]

Thats cool man, I have the Bushnell radar gun and a Garmin Forerunner 101 GPS. I tested both together and found the radar is faster(meaning shows a higher number) from anyhere from a 1mph to less than a half a mile an hour. Not bad imo.

My fastest recorded speed was 56.3mph using the GPS. If I had used the radar gun im positive it would have said 57mph. But we all know GPS is supposed to be more accurate, but results are results and I would believe both.

You should honestly drop in the 3spd you will be amazed at how much quicker it will be.

Heres a thread I created to help guys reach 50 and beyond, its long but filled with great info

Thanks for the help ill keep u updated with the progress and i will be waiting for u to hit that 60mph

How annoying was it to tune the 3 speed to shift at the right points because thats the only thing im worried about
