Xtreme racing Prodator as the running gear is so free and there are no shock towers to disturb air flow.

The fastest buggy is always the one with the best thumbs behind the tranny. A fast driver will always be fast.

Well, to make the fastest 4wd buggy (in a straight line) you buy the one with the widest chassis and fit a model turbine engine into it

And to not sound like im taking the mick i rekon a XX-4 with a novak 3.5R will be the fastest...... just maybe

I no longer own one but I'd have to go with the Predator, it has the smoothest drive train of any rc car I've picked up, it was ballisitc.
Unfortunately I could never get it to suit my style of driving/crashing (delete as applicable).

i belive the new world record for a rc car is 134.4mph and have seen the vid

you need to be logged in to see it
ok so heres the youtube version
Nic Case ran his Schumacher Fusion which he converted to electric at 127.2 mph as the fastest run and also 119.3 mph as the second fastest run, although did not break his previous record of 134.4 mph from last year. It was extremely windy and possibly too much VHT was put down.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Fastest Top Speed
Nic Case - 127.2 mph

Fastest Nitro Car
Tony Lovering - 88.0 mph

Fastest Monster Truck
David Cornell - 72.9 mph

Fastest Mini
Ken Davis - 59.2 mph

Fastest Bike
Lito Reyes - 87.3 mph

Fastest Individual
Nic Case - 127.2 mph

Fastest Manufacturer Team
Team Novak, driver Charlie Suangka - 118.7 mph

Fastest Independent Team
MHRA Guys, driver Jim Schauer - 105.6 mph

Tony lovering (ic) is from the uk and funded all his own expenses.
he would have topped the 100mph bar a bit of a big accident!

Lots more info (and access to the video) on the official thread over at Radio Control Zone. http://forums.radiocontrolzone.com/f...play.php?f=342
The 134mph record was with an electric converted Nitro TC3. Nic managed a run at 160mph last year with a 2wd Custom Works Intimidator, but didn'y complete a second run.
