Fastest RC car -1/8 scale 105mph

105 mph run

103 mph run
Internals look like a Neu Brushless motor (1515?), 4s 8400 mah li-po battery, Castle Creations Mamba Monster brushless speed control and mechanical brakes.

Brian Sigsworth hit 105 mph with his OFNA Ultra GTP. He was running a Neu brushless motor and 4s 8400 mah battery. These guys are insane driving on busy roads! Nice run. The run was captured on video in one continuous shot.

Kevin Simms - Losi XXX-S 93 mph

Kevin Simms has hit 93 mph with his Losi XXX-S sedan. This is what he said about the run:

im just using the mamba max esc with the mamba 9000kv motor and 4s lipo flightpower pinion is only a 28tooth the spur is a 84tooth and the internal gearing is 1.83 standerd so now ive got to gear up and head for the 100mph mark.

9000 KV motor from Castle

Castle Creations has a new super high KV motor. Its a 9000KV motor designed to run on a max of 2s. I know the speed freaks out there will be trying 3s. This will be the motor to have for the 7.4v class at a speed run competition.
