Kickass, but it's hardly counted as an R/C car in my book...

200 MPH Tether Car
These are the world's fastest model cars with top speeds well over 200 mph.These tether cars are the forefathers of radio control cars, traveling around a track that's over 200 feet in a little more than six-tenths of a second. It equals roughly 90 Gs of lateral acceleration, pulling well over 600 pounds of tension on the wire that guides these missiles.

:shock: I want one

That guy in the middle would want to have a real strong grip on that pole though...
 
I don't. A "normal" 50mph nitro powered RC car is way more fun.
I can't find it right now but there was this video clip of RC cars in drifting action, Evos and Imprezas mostly, it was just amazing.
 
1) it's a repost (but from long ago)
2) it's fake. look at the bird. it flies way to fast and hyperkinetic for the vid not beeing speeded up

and i would also get a normal one. the drifting RC things are just way to cool, but o so hard, i tried a few times with a friends', but end up in the bushes all the time

Dammit - I used to have that clip and just went to watch it - but I've deleted it :(

:lol: I didn't notice the bird - I was watching the waving flags to see if they looked sped up

I still think these are cool - but you're right, r/c drifting looks amazing, no idea how they do it though...
 
One thing I know they do is replace the tyres with smooth ones specially designed for drifting.... I am thinking a set of grippy tyres at the back and slippery ones at the front could make it a lot easier to put the car into a drift.
I don't know about the other mechanical aspects though....
 
no problem getting it in a drift, keeping it in a drift, or even a straight line is the hard thing.

those things have like 5000hp/ton or sth, from the moment you touch the throttle, all hell brakes loose for such a small device
 
If its real then thats quite kool, if not then bleh.

R/C cars are fun, I've had a few battery powered ones but they don't run for very long. Gas powered ones are awesome though.
 
I'm happy some liked this post...other then it being a repost. I searched for 200mph, R/C car and nitro car and I had no thread resembling something like this.

I wonder how long that guy sits on that little pole, every time one of those things go? lol
 
isn't there a pan car (battery powered) 1/10th that did over 100mph?

I think I remember something about the world record speed being broken... a year or so ago. Hmmm....

I keep thinking about getting back into R/C but usually something breaks on the car or reality rears its ugly head.... heck, thats why I sill don't have GT4 either.... damn reality! When am I gonna' get time to play in the model/sim world? :(
 
Here are some pics of my RC car (currently in a 1000 pieces, and I can't find my wheels, front diff. and suspension :x )

Bought it in Japan about 11 years ago.

It's a kyosho 10th scale Skyline GTR R32, it was supposed to be painted Calsonic blue, but I like gunmetal gray.

The standard engine was changed to a OS CZ-Z Max 0.12cu inch i think, about 30,000 rpm, it also has a 2 speed auto box with carbon fibre brake. It's probably a bit dated now, but it is scarily fast.

The problem (and the reason it is in bits) is that the servos that I bought with it are shit, the resolution is so bad that if the car is going really fast and you just tickle the steering, it spins.

I'll get some new ones soon.

Anyone else have an RC Car?

I used to have a nitro powered R/C truck that was given to me by a friend for a while for safe keeping while he was gone..I think it was a Traxxas Tmax. Fast little bugger...think it was a 40+ MPH R/C.

Then over in europe I had a battery powered R/C on Mercedes CLK GTR body. It was actually pretty fast for a battery powered R/C, had two gears...two tire types.

lol, now I wanna go by a R/C, there is a section of the lakebed here on base that is sectioned off called "Muroc Model Masters", for R/C planes, cars, trucks, helicopters. There is a load of peeps out there on the weeked. Guy's have even brought out minature jet engine R/C's that fly around..it's really an awesome sight, and sounds so cool! :D

I think they even has a website..and are a pretty big club on the west coast. www.murocmodelmasters.org <--might be a dead server atm though
 
i got a team associated electric 1:10 buggy called (i think) b3 and a ofna 1:8 4wd nitro buggy. honestly i really dont get why you guys think it is hard to drift these things. as long as you have 4wd and abs tires, its easy. on wet grass i can even drift my ofna. the team associated is rwd and i hve a 12 turn motor and a 7 cell battery so it gets kinda crazy. in a big parking lot i can drift it a little, but its real wide drifts with not much angle.

I own three.

A Losi truck that used to belong to my brother. Looks a lot like this one:

I bought it from him 'cause it is such a beautiful handler. Never driven it since though. Never managed to put electronics in it...

A Tamiya Madcap. Like this one.
58082-MadCap.jpg

A two wheel drive buggy. My first one. Fast but not a good handler. Still in running order, needs batteries though.

A very modified Tamiya Clod Buster. This is what the original one looks like but believe me mine is far from this look:
clodbuster.jpg

Four wheel drive, four wheel steering under dual driving controls (allows driving sideways, sharp cornering or fine steering using only front steering). Quite fast for a monster truck at an estimated 25 km/h top speed. Is 26 inches long with a 24" wheelbase with a aluminium chassis with a mutilink suspension & cantilever mounted oil-filled shock absorbers and rolls around on 6" diameter tires. :)
Needs batteries too to run and hasn't been used in a while.

I'll post pics of my truck as soon as my camera is back from repairs. :roll:
Word of advice: Going through clouds might get moisture in your camera. :blink:

its a fly...


i miss the rc-car however...all i see is a black dot going round in circles very fast...boring.
 
I have a 1:10 NISMO Clarion Skyline GT-R LM
It?s battery operated, but it?s so much fun!
I loved drifting in sandy asphalt, the 4wd made it drift so nicely!
Some weeks ago I tried playing with it , but the batteries seem to have died...permanently :(
