I highly doubt it will go 85. A TRX Nitro-4tec will go 70 with a 3.3.

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.

Yeah, dont waste your money...

And even if you were willing to i dont think you find one under a hundred, i've seen a couple that probably dont even start brand new go for a hundred.

Over all if you want to spend a hundred bucks stick with xmods, cause atleast then you can get something that runs for your money

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.
