I was looking around on some other forums reading some kill stories when i come across one that that was written by a camaro owner. All i know about his car is that it was a v6. Anyway he tells everyone that he raced a remote controlled car. He says that he won but just barley and that it was one of the best races he had ever been in. Personally i think that if you would even think of racing a remote controlled car you would have to be pretty stupid but then actually tell other people about it and say that it was one of the best races that you have been in, that is just pathetic.

lol, maybe he didn't have any competition since he had a v6.

It was probably a joke......

Some of the nitro remote controled cars can be faster than most cars 0 to 60.HPI proceed 0 to 60 less than 3 sec.I would say quick for any car remote or not.

there was a guy here in Tulsa that had a remote control car racing people. he was actully beating some v8's probably cause they didnt get any traction but still it was pretty fast. me and my bother used to race them and some are pretty quick. and yes the nitro powered ones are a lot faster.

A four-wheeler can beat a 5 liter Fox Mustang in the 1/4 mile.

My friend has a yamaha banshee and he can beat my other friends GT till his 4-wheeler tops out

Power/weight ratios......

That is it exactly. My 1/8th scale Nitro buggy weighs like 7 or 8 pounds but puts out almost 2.5 hp. Kinda hard for a streetable car to beat that. My buggy tops out at about 45-50, but that is in the gearing. If I buy the 2 speed trans, forget it. That puppy will hit 90!!!

thats pretty fast for a buggy. I know the street ones have no problem hitting those speeds. A street one runs 40-50 mph stock. If you did some mods to it it will run

My son and I have the HPI nitro RS4's,and have already started mods.Good fun if you have the extra $ get one!

Do u kno wut i bet my zip zap can smoke ur rs4 yea and after that ill go swimmin in my cheese pool

what i thought was funny was on Ocean's Eleven when the morman brothers in utah race, one with a big ass truck and the other with the remote control replica, then the big truck just ran it over and laffed the whole way down the track.

ya man, theres murcielago rs4+ i think there called from hpi, they can hit like 65 in 3 seconds, thats faster than the real lambo lol... rc carscan be like so fast, it would be amusing to put them in a 1/16th(if such)drag and see the sad faces :) <edited><editID>Zcpeanut</editID><editDate>37803.933599537</editDate></edited>

i bet just the 1/8 it could clean up...you could hustle folks so damn bad

Oh i kno that would be the best thing to hustle with cause like, its like hey, wanna race my remote control car?, any person with half an ego would do it, big $$$ =)

I raced an RC on my Suzuki 750R (when I had it) and it gave me a hard time. -- Those things are wickedly fast from 0 to about 60-- that's it though, those littlemotors can't really handle much more than that. -- My co-worker use to race those things when he said it could beat my bike I laughed....but after racing it....I learned not to underestimate 'em.

I heard the little engines spin like 30,000 RPM!

I thought itd be nice to bring back a classic [sm=goodidea.gif]

I had a remote controlled nitro plane that spun at 22,000 rpm. That thing freaking screamed. Too bad my dad crashed it from 250ft straight into the ground. IDIOT!LOL

I work at a hobby shop and sell/tune/run those things all the time. They are extremely fast and the motors can reach about 42,000 RPM. I have raced a car with my E-Maxx, which isnt stock, and beat it until i maxed out at about 55. They are very fast and i would never race one for any money.
