Re: World's Fastest R/C Car, anyone?

If it were me, I'd take a .46 size engine off of one of my r/c airplanes and strap that in with a little centrifugal clutch, and gear it down....just a little....these motors have decent torque and a uber high top end rpm of 20k rev/min. If you put that to a big set of wheels, you'll have one heck of a car. I would also do the steering so that it has a very small range of movement, thus increasing the controlability of the car (you could also set in dual rates on your x-mitter).

Whaddya think? Could it work?
