Insane.

Looked closer to way over 200.

Seen the 140MPH 1/32 scale slot cars?

I guess as long as people have money to spend, the bar will always be raised.

at first i thought it was sped up but if you watch the US flag in the background you can see that it is legit.

nope. i am simply agreeing with you. not only can u varify that it is real by looking at the flag move, BUT also by looking at the bug flying aorund the camera :)

well i put it up on another forum and everyone thought it was fake.....but the other forum is a bunch of retards. so far i have watched it about 25-30 times, so i am damn sure it is real. i want to see what happens to one that has its line break and it flies out of the ring...that would be cool

Well, I can't see the vid. And I was and some what still into r/c's...but 200mph sounds a lil hard to believe, i wouldn't blame anyone who didn't believe it. 1-2 years ago, fast r/cs were 100mph, but 200mph?!?! I have a RCCA with 2 cars that were taken to a full
scale Oval to be tested.

Since I can't see the vid. Does anyone know what scale? motor size? car?

Edit: I wen't and dug up the old mag. 2001 Cliff Lett set world record top speed for an RC (AE RC10 L30) at 111MPH. This was an electric, which I would think is the best to do top speed runs instead of nitro. Does the vid show a speed gun?

Edit Edit:D : Saw the vid. Still doesn't show the speed? But w/e, the fly thing makes me wonder :rolleyes:

Whoa that is insane!:eek: I wonder if those guys get a work out from spinning those cars.

Too bad my tamiya electric Rc can never do that:(

That is BULLSH*T. Not because of the speed. It actually IS going about 200mph. But that's not radio control. It's called control line. The tether is holding it in. That's got to be the most boring thing on the planet. "Hey let's lean the @#$% out of the engine, tie it to a string and watch it blow up."

R/C top speed is done in a velodrome, about 120-130mph. Electric. Nitro cannot keep up to a properly designed/prepped electric car.
