Re: World's Fastest RC Car Contest

Nitro engines are what will probably win, they produce more power per unit weight than the electric motors, have all their torque at the top end where it's needed in high-speed applications, and don't need a huge battery pack to power it. If one is looking for RPMs at the wheels... nitro engines can run easily in excess of 20,000rpm producing 5hp or more with around 1lb of weight. Use, say... a 3 spd automatic transmission plus another gear-up since we don't care about acceleration too much, run 2 or more motors mated to an AWD chassis, and the car would be much faster than any electric.

Oh yea, a good aero package would be defintely needed to keep the thing stable.
