They are good for over 50mph and for something weighing about 10 kilo`s is plenty of oOmph ,they handle great,they jump/fly and land suprbly and will provide plenty of hours of RC FUN if not totally abused.
There are loads of bling and/or hop up parts available from many many manufacturers including HPi `s own brand hopups.
They are competative in standard trim(out of the box) i managed to finish 10th over all at last years BRCA offroad Nationals,securing the clubmans class victory

I love mine to bits.I would recomend trying one,i am sure you will like it
