...speed,not really sure,but it was crazy fast for doing the drag style racing..which is what i wanted them for.if i used 10 cells and the motors for any period of time,like over a minute,the ESC would overheat..it was crazy fast and still is,just need new batteies..i have the old ones,but i doubt they would be any good..i haven't tried..
