T-Maxx is my new ultra fun hobby. I am sure some members around here are into it too. This is my truck on top of my mom's Excursion.

The T-Maxx 2.5 stock goes about 35-40mph. They are very fast.

If you buy a Buggy like the XTM X-Terminator (http://www.hobbypeople.net/review/145601rcca.htm) you can easily reach up to 50mph even 60mph is not unheard of. Personally I am more into the versatility of a monster truck, but if speed is what you want go with a on road car or a buggy.
