I know speed does not scale up well but some of the guys running these little 1/16 scale electric cars at the track push them little buggers to 60mph!!

i have a brushless/lithium polymer powered r/c stadium truck that'll do about 70mph......if it hooks up it'll just do a backflip...i've also ripped tires off the rims which were glued on.....LOL
16 years is quite a while, but still a strong feat......300mph in anything is impressive, who needs a veyron?......
