6x6 speed test

early morning rain delayed my plans, but we were able to the 6x6 down the road after the rain. on the way out we reached around 45mph with no effort. lots of wind problems in the unmfinished cab. on the way back we took the engine speed up and that is where i had trouble holding the camera steady. i cut it off when i couldnt hold it steady as our speed was climbing. video ends at 52 mph. the truck easily went to 57 mph and i was too scared to do anymore. i dont think it will need 4:89s, but it is difficult to get a feel for rpm and speed with a half built truck. i do know it is plenty fast enough for now. the video is very jumpy with lots of wind noise. disclaimer: dont try this at home!
