What Is the Speed of the Fastest RC Car in the World?

When it comes to speed, RC cars have come a long way since their first introduction in the 1960s. With advances in technology and materials, today’s RC cars can reach speeds of over 100 miles per hour, making them some of the fastest vehicles on the road. But what is the speed of the fastest RC car in the world?

The fastest RC car in the world is currently held by Team Corally’s Razor Xtreme, which can reach speeds of up to 125 mph. This incredible vehicle has a brushless motor that is capable of producing over 4,000 watts of power and is made up of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. It also has an onboard computer that collects data such as temperature and acceleration readings to help optimize performance.

However, while this makes it one of the fastest RC cars on the market, it isn’t necessarily the fastest car ever built. In fact, some professional drivers have managed to push their own customized machines to even higher speeds.

For example, in 2019 professional driver Ryan Maifield set a new world record for an electric-powered RC car at an impressive 143 mph. This was achieved using a custom-built machine with specialized components such as high-performance batteries and gearing systems.

So while 125 mph is currently the official world record for the fastest RC car in production, it’s possible that drivers may be able to push their machines even further in future.

Conclusion: The current fastest RC car in production is Team Corally’s Razor Xtreme which can reach speeds up to 125 mph. However, professional drivers have managed to push their own customized machines even faster with Ryan Maifield setting a new world record at 143 mph in 2019.
