Depends on how much you want to pay. A lot of monster trucks have the ability to go quite fast, and even faster ones you start upgrading. The new e-maxx looks like it will go quite fast and will handle the power easily.

How much are you willing to spend to go fast?

For $500 you can do quite a bit. Do you want a truck or car?

Does 55-60MPH sound fast enough?

Stampede VXL on 9 cells will get you that speed. 8 cells should get you about 50MPH
