Who offers the fastest RTR car? How fast would an expected speed be on black top? ....Ed > Who offers the fastest RTR car? How fast would an expected speed be on black > top? > ....Ed Do you mean set the thing down and go in a straight line forward and not do any turns? Or do you mean have the vehicle have to race some kind of course or track that has curves? For road courses, the Power Racing Product XR80. It is competitive too. Does 80 mph out of the box. 60 mph: http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitro/n4tec/trx_n4tec.htm 73 mph: http://www.cenracing.com/ Get one from your local hobby shop, one that they stock parts for. At speeds like that, you will biff a few curbs, flip and roll, cartwheel, ect. You will need replacement parts, get a car you can repair easily. John > Who offers the fastest RTR car?

For the record, I have a Nitro Rustler, which is probably one of the fastest RTR off road vehicles in a straight line ever made, I would expect second only to the Schumacher Menace. And I have to say that once the initial "wow" factor wears off, I don't find much interest in its straight-line top speed. But of course, that's just me:-) MIKE > Who offers the fastest RTR car?

Yeah, and I think I read a mag article about a 70mph stadium truck from Schu, also.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > http://greyhound.mousetrap.net/altus/ our ex-racer greyhound > http://www.mousetrap.net/~mouse/cs.html How to get good phone support The shumacker onroad car does 80+ it has a .21 and a 3 speed .Woven carbon graphite upperdeck And nice easy start system.It also is under $350 as well. Schumacher Menace. In my opinion pointless: - very few places you can utilise its main differentiator (top speed) - less capable at plain bashing than plenty of others for similar or less price - not raceable So once the thrill of high speed straight line running wears off (pretty quickly in my case) you have a truck which doesn't bash as well as plenty of others, can't be raced, and you probably wonder why you didn't by a monster truck, 1/8th buggy or 2wd small block stadium truck ..... But that's just me, and if you have a Menace and love it, good luck to you, and tell the group what you enjoy about it!
