Default How fast?

I just bought An Axial .28 motor for My Dirt Demon.

With my truck stock i was clocked at 40-48Mph on good days even 50Mph. My gearing is stock 12/52.

How much faster will i go now with my new engine?

I can't figur out my speed on this Calculator ( http://www.radiocontrolzone.com/cars/calculator.asp )

Give or take a few miles per hour, it should go too fast! Jeez man it already goes 48mph? That is plenty fast for a truck! Have fun though.

well... if you can actually hit the top RPM on both engines, and you keep the same gearing...

8000 RPM would give you a 28.57%(rounded) increase in speed.
Assuming you hit 48 at 28000, you theoretically, should hit 61.71 MPH at 36000
