    More information needed. Set up etc. A Vking set up correctly,the right motor and a experienced driver will be capable of 100mph.

    You should be in the low to mid 80's with proper set-up, assuming your core is dry and you can turn that prop 6500. But without knowing your rpm, prop height and gear ratio, it's just a guess.
