Adam the 1/8 nitro cars are much faster ! This one has a topspeed of only 85 km/h. I also have a few 1/8 scale i raced with in competition and they are way faster but very expensive to drive them. This is for the laid back racers, but it really looks and drives like a real car thats what i like about this model. The pic shows how big these things are the one next to it is 1/8 model
