Be sure to have some spare parts around, because if you crash at that speed, that little buggy will just about disintegrate!
When I actually first started speed runs, I couldn't get anything over 55 mph with flipping the buggy over(too sticky tires and loose shocks were my problem). Amazing how many times it can tumble at 50 mph lol. I went over to it many a times after these tumbles without anything broken. It is a really tough little buggy.

Only when it tumbled into a solid object did it break. That happen a few times too, rock, telephone pole lol. I don't mind fixing them though, sometimes I think I like it more than driving :) I keep tons of spare parts around. Stub axles are what usually break because of the power. Luckily I have never damaged a motor or ESC cause that would be costly.
