I believe its on topic, and my guess it would depend on 2 things, how massive was the load,...and at what point of the acceleration it was when the wheels came off!
Speed of launch would be determined by what kind of placement/orbit was required. Even at the low-end requirements of 17,000+MPH, a mass of 500 pounds would make quite a splash.
