i done a quick search no results.

*These are the world's fastest model cars with top speeds well over 200 mph.These tether cars are the forefathers of radio control cars, traveling around a track that's over 200 feet in a little more than six-tenths of a second. It equals roughly 90 Gs of lateral acceleration, pulling well over 600 pounds of tension on the wire that guides these missiles.* from the site.


you wouldent want to step on the wire, and get you're foot amputated!

lol damn, pwned

im guessing.

i've seen this b4, those things r damn fast but.... it's not much fun IMO

[adamwich]

Thanks for posting it agian, didn't see it the first time

BTW that's insane!

[mike_sayer]

Hahahaha that's ridiculous, what's the point? Also, i think that's the most annoying noise i've ever heard. I guess it achieves something then!

The string doesn't make them go faster. It's there as a safety precaution. There is no radio system offered to the public (that I know of) that would have the range required for something that fast.
Controlling it with a radio is just a bad idea anyway. All RC and recreational radio systems have to be FCC compliant. They must accept glitches and iterference. There are a few radios less prone to glitching, synthesized frequencies ($$), Pulse Code Modulation ($$$), and the newest, which is running in the 900MHz range ($$$$). They are supposedly completely immune to intereference.

The string only keeps it on track, it's too fast to control without it. How it's able to go so damn fast is in the gearing. Basically, it's super tall. Which takes away acceleration, thats why they have to swing it to get it moving. Otherwise it would just sit there. The engines are just as important, they are tiny little two strokes but the rev to 40,000rpms, sometimes more. Thats also why they make that annoying wailing noise, 40,000RPMS is a lot!
