Default FMT monster trucks

Does this car really do the advertised 65MPH? where can I get parts?

I seriosly doubt that it would do 65. The closet thing to a monster truck that claims will do 65 is a jato. And alot of people cant even get it to 65.

I'm guessing it's another Himoto truck.. I see different variations of those advertising 65+ on ebay all the time

ive seen 85mph before...i dont trust them especialy since the engines are worse than what racers use, and the racers rarely break 50

maybe if they lift the car up and power the wheels with no weight on them. The gear ratio is 5.78:1 so maybe

I'm pretty sure it's a Redcat copy, you should ask over in the Redcat forum - [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_427/tt.htm]Here.[/link]

There's some info [link=http://yhst-90871347430291.stores.yahoo.net/]here[/link] also (and a lot of Redcat stuff too..)

I found more pictures of it http://www.hobbytron.com/1104WD2Spee...cingTruck.html

for some reason, I think these pictures make it look less cheap

All copycat trucks go 65-85 mph that is to attract noobs and make them buy. Also if they where as good as they sounded we all would have them and be using them.
