Nearly 100mph From An RC Car - Luxury Cars 2013

That's pretty damn fast for a toy. If you ever doubted that 1/8 scale model RC cars were serious business, we present to you the following video as evidence that they indeed are. Appropriately, it is a model of a McLaren F1, and although we aren�t exactly experts in these sorts of vehicles, we can tell you that it has a 2200kv motor. It�s running a full scale drag strip, but is too small to trip the strip�s sensors, so the numbers we see for the car all come from the car itself. Ultimately, aerodynamics prove to be a major problem, and the car does some flips. We�re guessing that these were never intended to go quite so fast, and the bodies might not be perfect copies of their big brothers.
