Is it fast for a RC car ?

Yes it is fast for a RC car. My grandson loves it and he still has it over a year now.

I used this car for teaching a math lesson about measuring speed; it will do 20 feet in about 3.5 seconds on a fresh set of 1.5 volt alkalines. I will try some 1.2 NIMHs soon; from what I know about total voltage I expect the car will run a little slower, but should be fine. I'll have to get back to you...or let me know!

Yes, it's fast, but I don't know how fast exactly. It's not a professional remote controlled car; it's definitely made for kids. But it's much faster than my daughter's My Little Pony car :-)

this is a nitro rc car. not an electric. in my opinion this is a great buy. i bought 2 o themfitted with all the telemetry sensors and ipod dock. this car does 65mph +. trust me its a great car. it has a transmission and it pops wheelies easily, hint the wheelie bar.

I don't know about that one. I have no experience with that model of RC car. Sorry.

It is really fast, we have another RC car made by Team Associated, and it is not even close (RC18R model). It charges pretty fast and is really fun to play with. We have ordered some parts online to make repairs and they are pretty cheap (<$10).

you can not return any hobbie grade rc car. The used one is somone selling one of their own, but i dont recccomend buying used. In the long run it could be cheaper nuying brand new instead.

Best answer here would be watch it in action on YouTube "Mad Gear Baja Wolf" put on by Nitrorcx. It's pretty fast, for the price it's very fast. You can't buy a Rc car or truck at a big chain store like Target or Walmart that has this kind of speed. Check out the video.

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)

Unless you are buying this for yourself I would buy. It has plastic gears which wear out quickly in the running gear. I hear this common with most all of the lower priced RC's I does run about 15 mph which is fast. They make faster ones.

A lot faster than the stock RC toys (AirHogs "garbage") you get from Walmart/BestBuy. I don't have a speed gun but a typical city block, the truck can get to the end in less than 5 seconds. The weakest link of the truck is its rims, it cracks/chips off after some serious hard crashes. I since replaced the wheels with Team Associate RC18T rims and it lasts, can take more of a beating (still runs fine, and I run my truck weekly).

Yes you will go faster. The cell count has a greater impact on speed than the kv rating on a motor. Just remember every motor has its voltage limit. If you want a fast car, first find out what the largest cell count battery the car can hold is, then pick the highest kv motor that can safely run on that cell count.

It is not fast at all i was very dsiapointed and it is not a out side rc car.

I don't have a radar gun but I'm guessing maybe 10-15 mph. It's faster than your usual 6v toy rc. This was actually the last toy grade I purchased before going hobby grade. Go hobby grade.

If you have a traxxas 9v battery then yes but if your going to use this motor out of a RC car then im not sure

The best RC Car we have owned. I got the 1/16 Mini. I wish I would have gotten the 1/10, however, for my Kids (13, 11, 7) they LOVE it and so do I. We work together modifying it (adding metal vs plastic parts). Not as fast as we would like but we will be modifying to do move. It is a great car to learn for sure.

According to my son, it's the fasted rc car that he has. He also has the Ford Mustang police car model.
