My mate has a remote control Petrol/Nitrous car thing, and when we were down at pendine Sands, he said to me it did 70 mph, couldn't go faster as it would flip, and it would get there in 6 secs on sand.
Anyway, thought it'd be a laugh to give it a go from where we were quite far back on the beach, to the sea.
It was close, but I beat it to 60, and then pulled well away till it flipped and I braked for the sea.
It was very funny

I thought those things did 70 "scale speed"

LOL - that'd be 4 mph!!!

It was very nippy, and let me tell you everyone was astounded that I kicked his ***, especially from a standing start (it is obviously about 300 times lighter than my car) - and astound at the grip I got, and how quickly I got moving.

These 4WD scoobies don't half grip!

Boring. Try taking on a proper 1/8 IC track car. 0-60 in something like 2.7 seconds and 90mph top end with the right gearing.

lol @ fuzz

Sounds interesting about the test though, I had often wondered how accurate their figures for top speed etc were.

No offence, but it sounds like the driver of the model car was crap.



This guy would leave you for dead, hes fearless I tell you.
