    Found the following "records" site but  I couldn't SAY or know HOW OFFCIAL these records are ... 
    ... Regardless I  found it an VERY interesting SITEFor example: New WORLD Record of 468 mph ...
    ... for Dynamic soaring, a GLIDER !!! WOW that was surprising and NOT what I was expecting, yeah

    [​IMG]  So teh above URL made me interested  [​IMG] 

    Would be interesting of not FUN if anyone of us Rc Enthusiast would post some of the Speed Records we have
    found around the NET?

    So WHAT is the fastest Rc model CAR, Truck, Airplane, Helicopter, Multi-rotor, Boat, Robot, Duck or
    whatever? Looking for the fastest movers over Land, Air and Sea? Meh, even looking for the fastest
    movers in "Outer Space" if only done by an Rc Hobbyist {LOL} Could even POST ones personal BEST or
    whatever you get the idea, NO limitations except it must be Rc!

    [hr]

    Consider the "468mph" record shown above one of my finds, whats yours?

    As far as rc I don't you can get any faster than a glider like that.

    But here's a tethered car that goes 200+mph

    And here's a 300mph turbine jet,worlds fastest

    And here's the worlds fastest rc car,161mph

    And  here's a datsun electric that's pulling 10's in the quarter mile

    And here's the aeral atom converted to electric,it has 2 speeds and does 112 in first gear and pulls 1.8Gs weather at stand still or already going 80mph

    Yup according to Guinness World Records the fastest Rc JET is over 300mph +

    "542.64 Km/h (293 Knots or 337.18 mph)"

    http://community.guinnessworldrecords.com/_The-fastest-remote-controlled-jet-powered-model-aircraft-RC/blog/1778318/7691.html

    And fastest heli to the best of my knowledge is 248 km/h = 154.100056 mph (unofficial)

    Although I would have thought the fastest Rc Car would have been faster? Could have should have, no one taken an Rc Car to Bonneville for a LAND Speed record ??

    You might have mentioned that the fastest helicopter was electric.  ;)
