Default Top speed on a scrambler 500 4x4

I was wondering how fast my scrambler 500 4x4 will go with the mods i have listed below? i think it will go like 65-68

Also how hard is it to install a trail tech speedo?

And dose anyone have any tips on geting so more speed out of it...


Thanks
Trailrider

Probably 65 or so...Trail Tech's are a snap to install...Mount the holder, run the cable to the front rotor, drill a hole, mount the snesor, glue a magnet on the disc----Done!


One of the biggest things to help out is reduce the weight....but it's also a hard thing to do because the 4wd system is what really adds the pounds....

I haven't topped it out yet, haven't found any place long enough to do that....it's more a guess...I did get mine up over 55 and it was still pulling....those things aren't a whole lot of fun going that fast....

I would estimate around 65. I had mine to about 62 when it was stock. I have a mad vibration around 40mph so I haven't taken it faster than that since the mods. This winter I am getting aluminum rims ( I believe that some Slime solidified in one of my tires causeing the vibration) so I will be able to see what she does this spring

A Trailtech is a great little unit.They are developing one with a hookup to the battery so that you can have the "nightlight" on at all times if you want. They are also making one with a Tach on it too. Should be interesting to see what they come up with. PM me when you get it and I will give you the numbers to program in it for tire size (assuming you still have 23's on the front). Later
