$400 is a bit steep for a MP w/ the engine. Most places have it for $350 or so. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p.pgm?Q=1&I=LXWV65&P=7

I'm not sure if it's any faster than a NQ w/ the stock hyper engine, but drop something like a Picco G-1 Pro BV in there and whoa baby will that sucker move.
It'll do about 40mph w/ the stock hyper engine. With a hot engine it'll do about 50mph. And w/ a hot engine and a 2 speed it's just too fast. 40 mph may not seem fast if you're into onroad or buggy racing, but you have to remember how friggin huge the MP is. Then it's quite impressive.

I have heard that you can take turns as fast as you want to with a monster pirate and it won't flip! (is that true?)

It depends on what surface you're running on. On dirt that's pretty true, but on grass (lots 'o grip) it'll flip just like anything else, but you don't have to take turns like a turtle either. I've softened up my suspension on my MP and I like it better even though it doesn't handle turns as well it clears obstacles much easier (not that much stops it anyway..LOL)
