i bought a new motor for my nitro tc3 its an O.s .18 motor and i tuned it just right so now it hit's about 85MPH, and my left rear tire decided to rip apart at full speed cuasing it to lift in the front so at 60 mph + and the lift the resualts werent to great......atleast it still runs.......so how fast does you're car go? any accidents?

My CEN ct5 is rated at the world's fastest RTR Nitro on road car, the factory achieved 73.4mph bone stock.
It's a 2speed, o but it must be close to 70. It is fast. But I said that about my 25 mph XXX-S(Most_Wanted) . |

Sorry, but I will not believe it until I see a picture with the speed on a micro-GPS system. I'm quite skeptical that the Traxxas 3.3 can go 70+mph and I am also skeptical that your .18 can do 85+. It'd be hella' sweet if it could, though.

Well, next time you do it and have the speed gun around make sure you snap a picture. I'd love to actually see those numbers come up for a Nitro TC3.
What exact engine are you using from O.S?

My Nitro Stampede goes 38.2mph radar gunned. It was running a little rich at the time. I need to lean it out some. Remember, it is only running a TRX Pro.15. IDK what my next engine will be, maybe a Picco. The LHS has a 3.3 but I'm not sure it'll fit without more space. My worst crash so far was when I broke a drive shaft yoke. I only replaced one with an alloy or steel one, I have the other one, but I'll wait until I break the plastic one. I broke it while jumping. No big fix, it was fairly cheap and the guys at the LHS know me very well. Still 33+ or really 38.2mph(on blacktop) is really fast. It flies and I also needed to buy a wheelie bar because it would almost always end up on its roof on wheelies!'
According to the engine replacement plan, Traxxas will send me a free 2.5R incase my .15 blows or if I already had a 2.5R or 2.5.

Well,since I need to get a new pull start string,or a electric starter,it goes about how fast I actually go in my rental car(about 90+ on a high way,who thought a rental car could do so well on a small high way)..Of course it doesntrun at the moment,but why need it to run,when theres another bigger car going even faster,eh.
