XT2 is a basher plain and simple. There is not enough factory support/development behind it to make is comparable to a SC8 or most other name brand buggies/trucks.

60MPH+ maybe downhill in a hurricane.

What do you plane on doing with it? Race?

For racing get the SC8 and learn to drive smoothly. You will go a lot faster than everyone else if your smooth rather than abusive. I could lap a guy who is slamming his truck all over the place just by driving fast but smooth.

Nothing XTM is meant to be a racer and the part support sucks...pretty much like xtm, redcat ECT.
