For anyone who ever raced R/C electrics...
 

...this is sorta what your little driver figure was experiencing... man, it sure looks like fun being able to roll that power on without shifting, huh?

My RC-12 porsche 962 did 600 mph scale.

That thing cost millions and has 350 hp and the batteries are prolly good for a lap or two.
I'd rather do a lap in an LMP1 prototype or the Porsche spyder LMP-2.
They'd run circles around that spark-tricity car.

Henry Ford once asked Thomas Edison if he could design an electric propulsion system for his car that could be more efficient than his internal combustion engines.
Edison said it was impossible.

Love being able to hear the tires.
