Speed run XXCR ... now 74mph!!! :)

Thats pretty insane GD!

Yea...I've seen Jato's out-accelerate Mustang GT's and stuff. All you really have to do is look at power to weight ratio...

The average car (say, 120hp honda civic) is about 20 pounds to 1 hp. The right motor in the right R/C car can produce over 1hp per pound peak. 6000watts, which I beleive Serum said that 1950 was capable of, is over 8hp. Thats going into my G2R :D

Another thing one must realize is our cars are doing 0 to top speed, while the other car is doing 0 to 70 or whatever. My full scale car does 0-70 pretty damn quick (probably ~6.5 seconds), but it would take me ages to get to the ~160mph top speed. Then again, full size cars have 2-3 gears to get to 70mph...our R/C's have one.
