Default GPS placed on Revo

I was messing around today and secured my GPS unit on my Revo to see how far it traveled on a tank of gas. After approximately 11 1/2 minutes it ran out of gas and it drove 2.61 miles with a max speed of 33.9mph (Revo 2.5).

Excelent post because it shows how slow our cars/trucks are really going. I get sick of guys who say their Tmaxx with a 21 in it goes 80mph! The whole industry lies about speed numbers and most people believe it. I've actually overheard a Hobby People employee tell a guy "this Picco 21 will make your Tmaxx go over 80mph".

Good stuff.. I will say I was very suprised that it went 2.6 miles before running out of gas.. seems like a long way. Fun stuff, I'll be putting it on my 8ight T as soon as my engine arrives.

It has the stock 125cc tank and I was driving it on a smooth asphalt parking lot. Also I was driving for the most time at a moderate speed. The high speed run was done near the end of the tank over a straight away of about 150 yards.
