Stellar kinematical and dynamical results are presented for 34 radio ellipticals. The radio galaxies we observed were brighter than m(B)=16. The results show that these radio ellipticals are not generally more rapidly rotating than their non-radio counterparts. Evidence for some rotation about the major axis is seen in two cases. These radio ellipticals do not appear to obey the luminosity, velocity dispersion trend seen for normal ellipticals.
