I didnt see how much it cost but from the other prices, Id think right around the $1800-2000 mark. Thats a little to rich for my blood, althoguht it would be bad *** to have one.

You should try and calculate the 1/4 speed
That 1/4 scale would run with a REAL viper in the 1/4. That would just make an awesome video. 1/4 scale vs 1:1 lol

My (electric) RC10 will run about 20-25 mph Waaaay too fast for indoors. My (electric) RC12LW will go faster than that. 50Mph is NOT unheard of from a Gas powered RC car. When I was involved in RC racing, the "rules" for 1/4 scale cars did not allow drag racing because of their size & potential speeds, you can literally kill someone with one.

I actually have a 1/10 scale body for a 80's Trans AM I bought back in the late 80's.

This would look even better than the 23cc engine, a little less hp, but a lot more realistic and more $$$$$:

I'd assume as fast as a standard go-kart

That's really just kind of a humorous banner I put on my homepage but if it really sparks your imagination,,,

enjoy

*edit... it just now occurred to me just how funny the website URL is.....

It's not unheard of for battery cars either. I passed a car with my Losi XT once. It was capable of 45-50mph. Of course, I had a 10-turn motor and an insanely fast gear ratio. The battery pack lasted about 1 1/2 minutes and was too hot to touch when I took it out.
