how fast am i going????
 
mugen mbx6, os vspec, 30% nitro, 13t clutch, dynamite 086 pipe, stock setup. The thing is CRAZY fast. lets assume that it is tuned to perfection (at least i think so anyway) since i don't have a radar gun how fast am i going??? i know its a loaded question somewhat but seriously can anyone give a ball park figure??? My buggy is flat out retarded!

Get a garmin gps, they make a really small one.....strap it in and pin the trigger. Good luck!

get your girl friend to drive the car the big one you sit in the
passenger seat and drive the little car and see how fast
you can go

where you at in louisiana??? i live in prairivile. Lived in baton rouge most of my life.


But seriously i can't afford any type of gps, radar gun etc. Ball park figure what we talkin 40, 50, 60+ mph??? If i had to guess i would say somewhere between 70 and 80

unsp0ken 05-02-2009 08:01 PM

my guess would be 40's.

dreaux 05-02-2009 08:26 PM

now way that thing is going in the 40"s my brother in law has a traxxas rustler with a traxxas .15 and it does 50+ and i would smoke him no problem

beginner4life 05-02-2009 08:27 PM

i'd say around 45, 50 max. 70-80:weird: NO WAY!!!:sweat::sweat:

VenturaDC 05-02-2009 08:40 PM

for sure 45ish

dreaux 05-02-2009 08:46 PM

sure seems faster. Guess i have to get a electric to go faster. I had a rc10 about 15 years ago and it went at least 35 so this is as far as gas has come since then?? I remember a gas car the stinger going 50+ back then.


Oh i know it's not about speed.

Does it really matter? If you wanted a road machine, you should have gotten a jato or an onroad car. Buggies aren't about top speed at all.:nod:

dude if you in P-Ville go to the track in Springfield and race that thing ;)

Nowhere near as fast as you think:lol:

but look at it like this..use scale speeds and you can multiply your actual speed by 8! So in reality you are going 40 MPH, but in scale speeds that is 320MPH! Holy Chit dreaux..you got a buggy that does 320 MPH!!!!
