R/C enthusiast Nic Case is back at it. He holds the fastest R/C car record at 134.4 mph. Now he is out to top that at 200mph with his new X2 racer.<!--more-->
Though the R/C car has a theoretical top speed of 274 mph, drag generated by friction from the road surface and air brings that final top speed to the 200 mph figure. Specs include a gyroscope and special fins to prevent roll and drift. Special foam tires to grip the track and a whopping 29.6 Volt power plant to provide the extra umph. Maybe the good folks at Paradise Hobbies should invite this guy to a shoot out?
