Default Buggy Speed?

Hey

I just installed my two speed on my lx pro (one-speed = about 53 MPH lhs said) and I was wondering, about how much faster do you think it will go. I think about high 60's low 70's. Also, how fast do you're cars go?

Awesome is not the word!!!

Think of it this way.....70 MPH and 1/8 scale = a scale speed of 560 MPH.

MINDBENDING!

I'm really looking forward to 2 speed kit for the 9.5. I got my 9.5 violator up to 64mph the other day. That was with a 18 tooth clutchbell and a 50 tooth spur gear. But what really helped was the RB Concept C-5 Rody Modified!

Now you see mine is a Hyper 7 with 18T bell and 46T spur. Powered by the 8 port race. The acceleration is lost until you hit the power band @ 8000 RPM
