Stock is as the vehicle ships. Calculated is worked from the stock figures on this page rather than stored beside them, so the two cannot drift apart. The top speed is kinematic: an ideal no-load RPM with no slip and no loss under load, so a real car is slower.

How these numbers were settled

Gearing is published in full on one manufacturer page and is internally consistent. Losi publishes no tire OD; the RTR ships on Blockade 1/8 buggy tires and Pro-Line's Blockade on the same 3.3 in bead measures 4.37 in (111 mm), matching the 110-111 mm 1/8 buggy class.
