How fast will it go with the right gearing and battery? I'm looking for speed.

Well, there's no exact answer I can tell you, you have to take into consideration the weight of the car, the tire diameter, the battery you use and yhe obvious pinion and spur gearing, I've been able to reach 40 but that's the highest I've gotten it to go

With the stock battery and pinion (the one that's pre-installed) around 35mph

You would have to buy the esc vxl3s to run that motor. It's brushless,there for it has 3 wire's. You would need lipo battery to. Then your bandit will do 70mph+

It's fairly fast. I was using it to commute over 2 miles daily and it treated me very well. It will need minor adjustments to trucks and wheels of you get it

45/50ish, u need a 3s lipo,gear change and tires to do 70+. ur battery is weak point. go lipo.

According to the literature the GEARING is from 9 RPM at 661:1 (9 x 661=5900) to 88 RPM at 71:1 (71 x 88 = 6200)So the motor RPM seems to change depending on the Gear Loading. It averages 6000 RPM.It's also rated at 3 Volts. So a 2 Cell AA Pack Battery, or a 3 Cell Nicad, or a single cell LiFe should work.I'm adopting a single cell LiFe with a Solar Cell from a Security Light Pack to try to do the job that Iwanted it for.

Sure it will won't be as fast as going down a hill. Hope this helps. You will have a fun don't let that stop you from buying it. Enjoy

I think that's going to be pushing it... I would guess it comfortably runs around 30 stock, which is pretty damn fast, but to hit 40 you will need to do some work beyond just battery.

Yes, same speed: 7 mph. Battery is not lasting too long. Is wise to have a second battery.

Put in two LiPo batteries in parallel and lower the gear ratio and you'll have all the speed and more power than you need. Go to your local RC dealer for the best advice. I would definitely invest in a Traxxas 6 amp battery charger.

Not sure it was for my dad he used a 21 speed for it but i dont think it would matter to much which speed it is.

You'll want better batteries than stock. Stock will give you maybe 15-20 minutes max, depending on how you drive, and maybe 30mph. Go LiPo, or 8-cell NiMH if you don't want LiPo. A 5200mah 3S LiPo gives me over 30 minutes per charge, and 42mph all stock gears. Also get the battery expansion kit so you can use almost any size battery you want.

The basic car zips along pretty fast at 25mph. You can then upgrade to brushless motor at 50 mph. BUT Trust me the 25 mph is fast enough for kids. (Spirnt speed)

This bike will go 15mph on level ground,plenty fast enough for a good ride.I would not buy one because getting it repaired is next to impossible. I am 71 and love this bike however,getting parts to fix it is difficult and shops within 50miles from my home will not TOUCH IT! Buy local and make sure you will be able to get parts.

Its plenty fast its the torque you want. Thats why you want the lipos they hold even charge providing burst for jumps and passing.
