to think that a 10cc engine has the power to move something 200mph is pretty amazing. still would like to see one get away and hit something! |

My Grandad use to race those things in the 40s still got some around here some where. Was talking to a bloke last weekend about these things and the world recored is 345mph now that is bloody fast. Davway if they do brake lose there is a seperate wire that puls the fuel and they shut of pretty dam quick.

how is it a remote controlled car if no one is controlling it with a remote?
isn't it just an engine that keeps going as long as fuel is supplied? excuse the ignorance if its an obvious answer |

would you prefer me to put in the heading "200mph Nitro cars" so everyone thinks they are real cars. i know what your saying though, technically they arent rc as such. |
