Cool True known top speed

Borrowed our R/C club's radar gun for the weekend and had a friend gun me 3/4 of the way down some flat land on I59 North Birmingham-Gadsten Gun read 134.4 before I let off for an upcomming corner. This seems right because his '96 Maxima pulls away from me about 5 mph faster at top speed. (he's governed)

Also the ES's seem to be both drag and engine top speed limited... the engine's can't pull any faster without help from say a hill and don't have the umph to keep them pegged. On the flip side, without an insane increase in engine, I can't see the body of any of the ES's ever staying or passing 150 within reasonable limits.
