How Fast Can You Go?

Saturday August 12, 2006
I love to go fast but I've never reached triple digits with any of my RCs.
  • In R/C Car Action's "World's Fastest RC Car Challenge" the official record is 134.4 set on July 30th. Don't blink or you'll miss it in this video.

  • Back in 2003 the "World's Fastest RC Car" driven by Cliff Lett was clocked at 111mph. At that time challenging Cliff was one of the tongue-in-cheek three basic rules for racing RCs as established in this G4 article. I like rule #1 myself. There are some TC3 car speed tips at the bottom.

  • Wondering how your speed demon stacks up against other RCs? RC Car Tips describes how fast various stock and modified RCs go. Which is faster, nitro or electric? You might be surprised.

RC’s can really go fast. I was just wondering if the ratio of the RC is 1:1 with a real car which would be faster?
