I had a 35 lt for two seasons and it plain whopped my ass,lots of torq,carried a load well for a lt.I cannot give any speeds because the whole time I ran long tails speed was not a concern. |

Right now I'm getting 15 mph out of my 24 Scavenger on a 1648 Polarkraft, but it hates grass and you can bog it down in the mud. I'm thinking I need a new prop, the one that's on it it is hardly used, but I think them Scavenger props might be junk. Ran 'er in some thick grass today and it just about killed the thing. |

I got 42 mph out of my 80 hp vw longtail, tough to hold on to. Low to mid thirties is much more managable. |

14/36 alumacraft, 20hp go-devil, solo with the dog we averaged 18 mph, we did hit low to mid 20's going across mud, but that speed wasn't very long. so i guess what i'm sayin is 18. |
