Onless you suck at math and science or are cheap and don't want to buy the speed checker then you know that speed = distance divided by time in other words drive it about 20 feet and use the stopwatch to know how long it takes twenty feet and divide the distance by the time. DUHH!!!!!

Man I'm Smart!!!

Go to www.rcmart.com and purchase a Tamiya speed checker. It reads in kmh, so multiply the number it puts out by .62137 to get the NPH number.
