I was just thinking, Traxxas is really missing a great opportunity to sell overpriced modifications. After the * or **, they would add with optional weighted nose cone the Bandit can achieve jet like velocities allowing the front of the car to be planted no longer pointed at the stratosphere…..

Traxxas claims 115 kph which is 71.5 mph. 70 mph is just under 113 mph.
