How Big Is the Biggest RC Car?

The largest RC car in the world is no mere toy. It’s a full-scale, fully functional replica of a real-life race car.

It’s designed to be used in races and other competitions, and it has the same features as a real car, from an engine to transmission and even brakes.

The biggest RC car ever was the Traxxas XO-1, which was released in 2014. This monster of a machine had a top speed of 100 miles per hour and could reach 0-60 mph in just 2.3 seconds. It also featured an aluminum chassis, four-wheel drive system, and a brushless electric motor that produced over 4500 watts of power.

Another huge RC car is the Traxxas XMAXX, which was released in 2016. This 8s brushless electric monster truck is capable of reaching speeds up to 50 mph and can climb obstacles up to 12 feet tall with ease. It features a huge 775mm wheelbase and an impressive 8s brushless electric motor that produces over 5000 watts of power.

Other RC cars have also been made that are larger than these two examples, such as the Tamiya Twin Detonator (which measures 3 meters long), or the Kyosho Inferno GT2 (which is 1 meter long). However, these are all still considered “small” compared to the Traxxas XO-1 and XMAXX.

Conclusion:

The largest RC cars currently on the market are Traxxas XO-1 and Traxxas XMAXX, both measuring around 2 meters long. The Traxxas XO-1 has a top speed of 100mph and can reach 0-60 mph in just 2.3 seconds while the Traxxas XMAXX can reach speeds up to 50 mph with ease. Other RC cars may be larger than these two examples but they are still considered “small” compared to them.
