Since this is labeled a "crawler", how fast can this go? I am not looking for speed (20 mph+) but was hoping for about 10 mph on flat terrain.

I doubt it will even travel 10mph, at least on the stock battery and motor. However, the motor can be upgraded inexpensively. Although I haven't tried it yet (just purchased it a few minutes ago through Amazon for $15), others have used this motor (Axial AX24004 AM27 540 Electric Motor) to speed it up, and I believe it will ahcieve at least 10mph with the upgraded motor.

It goes slow, slower then you can walk. Low gear. Great for a young or first time RC Crawler.

I think 10 mph would be a stretch for this vehicle. I'd say more around 5 mph. It is a fun, capable crawler.

Not really fast but makes a very excellent crawler for the price. You can even use the parts to make a scale vehicle.

the best the schematics say you can run is a 21 tooth pinion gear and a 64 tooth spur gear. it goes up to 24mph. I suggest getting a 13 turn motor to go faster. taht can make it got 35-40mph

It's a well made unit but seems more designed for smooth, flat or even sloped surfaces. You may want to look for something with larger diameter wheels and a larger footprint to provide more stability. You might also consider no wheels at all, just a fixed walker when outside. It'll depend a great deal on how rough the terrain is where you plan to travel.

If we were talking flat to full, 35's might be pushing it. However, if all you're doing is dropping and adding a few pounds for terrain, like you say, I'd be pretty confident it could handle it. I've done 0 to full on a 31 in just a few minutes, so it's got some guts. Just don't run it continuously for more than 10 minutes.

Its not super fast bit fairly quick the motor it comes with is made for crawling so it has more torque I bought a 12t motor to make mine pretty quick

I bought the rock crawlers as gifts a long time ago. I do remember they can go in grass that isn't real thick. I have no idea whether it's waterproof. I think it was four wheel drive.

Very good for pitching. That is all I use it for. Have tested it side by side with stalkers and it has always been the same or only 1 mph off

Slow. Idk an actual speed. I bought an axial 27t motor for about $13 and it nearly. Doubled the speed. Still climbs fine

Jason, I would have to say that is goes about 25mph. I was very surprised/pleased with the speed. I bought this for my daughters and I'd have to say they love it!

John,It has variable speeds. Depending on how hard you pull the trigger it will go from crawling to full out.

It does not look sturdy enough to drive far or at any speed! But I would be willing to drive with mine up around the campground. Just keep the speed around 10 MPH and if you have it on tight it should be good!

About 20 mph, fast enough!! My 9 year old daughter absolutely LOVES it! My 12 year old is very envious!

I think the speed estimate is pretty accurate. About 20mph on even ground, rider weight contingent. I'm like 15 or so pounds over the maximum suggested weight for this bike, but I saw it clocked today by one of those automated speed traps at 17mph without peddling on a slight incline. Though I can't imagine it goes faster than 25 even with peddling, with the exception of down hill. It doesn't have the gears for higher speeds. You would have to be peddling pretty fast to get anything over 20mph, but the bike is noticeably faster than a cheap i-Zip electric bike. Sorry for such a delayed response. I don't have a speedometer, so I didn't really think I could answer this, until I saw the speed sign today.

Not sure what the official speed rating is but it has small bicycle wheels, so my guess is no more than 25 mph on streets and 10 mph off road. It has no suspension and a canvas box and cover so I don't recommend use on overly rugged terrain at any speed.

Hello, the advantage of the "Summit" in comparison to "Rustler" I see four wheel drive! It is easier and more accurate than driving the Rustler, at just decent acceleration and top speed. The "Stamped" I see more than crawler, this vehicle is not as to the speed. If your budged slightly larger, I would recommend the 1/8 "Summit", which has some more options and an impressive size. I hope I could help a little. Greetings from Switzerland.

hi, this little bike is fast, i raised the bars with 2 inch spacers so my knees won't hit and i'm 150 lbs..this bike pulls me about 30 mph on the street, my back yard isn't big enough for it to wind to that speed, but about 20 for straight streches. they are neat little bikes but, they have very high compresion and are hard to pull thru, once running my gran kids and i just keep it running until we're done with it. it'sforce air cooled so it's ok also, it is kind of loud but alot of fun. good luck, jack.

Depends on the motor, esc, battery and gearing you run in it. It could be a 60mph truck or a 2wd crawler if you wanted. It's all up to you. The traxxas slash is probably faster than this one only because traxxas is ready to race. This j concepts looks like more of an off roader and speed is never off roads friend because you'll experience overheating problems. To run those big tires off road it needs to be geared for low speeds which gives you the torque you'll need. Good luck Joey!
