Most full sized vehicles can't hit 200 mph (320kmph), let alone radio controlled cars. But Nic Case hopes his X2, currently in development, will do just that. Current holder of RC car speed record, Nic's goal is nevertheless an optimistic one.
Powered by a 29.6 Volt direct drive motor, the X2's theoretical top speed is 440 kmph, but that's without any drag generated by friction with the road or air. Special foam tires capable of withstanding the incredibly high RPMs keep the diminutive car in contact with the track, while a gyroscope manipulates rudders to automatically keep it in a straight line.
