1/5 scale XTM Grizzly. Is it really that fast?

It is hard to make one of these 4WD.

The guys just probably didnt want to go too fast. I had a 27CC in my FG Marder Beetle and a samba pipe, im sure it was doing close to 50mph, with standard gearing (18/46), whereas i should have ran 20/44 as it was wheelie-ing. In stock form with a 26CC zenoah i got 40mph from it.

These engines are so easy to start and are so reliable that you would think its a noisy electric motor.

As for putting an electric motor in one, id like to see that.
