ANY IDEA WHAT TOP SPEED IS ON THIS?

Not sure how fast top speed, but the 700's are great engines.

How is the off the line speed on this thing? Midrange? I have heard they are some what of a "muscle" sled that is what i am looking for speed.

these sleds are every bit a muscle sled and anyone that says otherwise is nuts! these motors are very,very,very close to the machz in performance only losing just a couple of mph to them. my nephew had one and his dad had the machz and in 1000ft radar runs he was about 2mph slower, so buy it and enjoy the power.
