As the story goes the Swiss once tuned one to do 140km/h, made a break test, and had to send the crew to hospital. Without messing with the transmission to get higher ratios, well-maintained, optimally tensioned tracks etc. the maximum is about 90, more typically 80, the official maximum is 70. Soldiers are generally told to keep it under 60. Don’t underestimate the centrifugal force of the tracks they’re getting hard to control at high speeds.
Curious how fast they were actually going
As it’s top speed is 42 mph, I suspect they had it going flat-out.
I paid for 42mph of speedometer, imma use 42 mph of speedometer.
Imma see if it’ll flip when I hit 50!

They could have taken that off, I suppose.
Limits are for peacetime I bet.

Which is about right. I, personally, wouldn’t really fancy getting that bad boy up much higher.
