What is the top speed? Are the rebuild parts easy to find?

With the stock motor, the top speed is around 10-15 depending on what you are driving on (dirt/pavement/etc.) Tamiya currently offers replacement parts online (you can find them on Amazon). I doubt you will find many replacement parts at your local hobby store. Once Tamiya discontinues the model, it is doubtful they will provide replacement parts.

top speed, with the stock motor and gear, maybe 10 or 15, not much faster than your regular rc car you would purchase at walmart. But with the upgraded motor and a 5500 nimh battery it goes fast enough to enjoy. Only thing I have had trouble finding is the spur that fits on the motor. But given a brand new motor is only like 5 bucks, might as well replace it if you need a new spur

I researched for parts on ebay. And found amazing prices. As for far as repairs I have no clue but am interested if u know the answer

About 45 to 50 mph wide open. It has the 2 speed transmission that shifts really nice. Upkeep shouldn't be a problem but parts are getting a little scarce.

Love my mcx2 its not twichy at all but I built it from parts and it is brushless and a real hot rod. Higher head speed = way more stable.

Mamba max motor and esc, upgraded gearing, etc. Google is your friend there.

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.

Seems a little fast to me. Mine lasted a good 4 years and that was with a fair amount of abuse going sideways on a slope. The replacements are cheap though and seem to be as good as original. Maybe not the best wheels especially in terms of traction,but easy and cheap to replace.

THis may not be a straight answer and I appologise. But let me tell you, Brushless is the ONLY way to go. I would assume the difference is 10+ mph. If looking for a slower one, You may want to go brushed. Gas is a headache and always jacks itself up. Brushless delivers speed, torque, reliablity. Maybe others have better advice. Albeit I am sure most would agree that brushless is by far the most fun. Good luck on your search. Feel free to ask more questions. Is the price your only issue?

Yes, to my recollection. Thing is getting it started. Just replaced mine, with broken transmission, with a Stihl at same cost. Starts easily, and can be purchased locally where it can be supported and serviced. Much stronger frame too - a real tool.

I'm not sure what the TopSpeed is, 1 day after I bought it the arm on the ball joint broke, and the battery terminals also don't stay connected, i've used it for probably 20 minutes out of the five months I've owned it and that's it it's been sitting collecting dust

try getting Robinson Racing 1050 48p Six Pack Pinion 16/26t and experiment to see what speed set-up works best.

The quality i believe is the same as a stock factory k03. I'm boosting 12psi with this one. I've bumped it upto 14psi and I've ran about 2000 miles on her so far and still running strong. If you need a replacement for an affordable price, you can't go wrong with the godspeed turbo. When i pulled my blown turbo, i set the godspeed and my factory turbo side by side and they are identical and look factory.Update 11/11/2014I've had this turbo on my car since March 2013. I got my stage 2 tune September 2014 and I'm boosting around 18-20psi and still running strong.

I am always looking and I say yes,on eBay get to the guys that sell parts mostly and nave plenty of up graded motors for 1:14 1:18 and batteries and those 2alone would make a monumental difference and double the speed,beware that being a cheaper entry level car,it will have majority of plastic components as in gears for the 4WD system compared to Metal diff gears,aliminium drive shafts etc etc

I assume you have contacted the folks at http://nationalwalkingsprinkler.com/? My National is a different model but they offered parts or complete rebuild. I'm still a happy with mine. Trouble free for several seasons. HTH

10th scale trx3.3 nitro motor. Very quick could use more weight in the front or more holes cut in plastic. As it reaches top speed the front will come up. Easy fix. Very fun and fast.
