Stock 2-speed with a xl4200 and 3s lipo is right around 50mph with a 21t 32p pinion. I can say that the Jato's drivetrain is pretty strong and not at all loose, but it is all plastic gears so you can only put so much torque through it before they start stripping.
It's also nice that the rear axle diff is a geared diff instead of a ball diff. Ball diffs have a harder time coping with large amounts of torque.
