What do you think the fastest remote controlled vehicle is? It can be anything from a car to a yacht. Give car name top speed and pics?

No doubt about it...a radio controlled glider ! Sorry dont have details but it surprised me that it wasn`t a rocket, gas-turbine or pulse-jet device. It was taken up somehow (possibly a balloon) to a tremedous height and dived before going through the timing traps staight and level. Maybe somebody can fill in the rest.

There were two Austrian brothers who flew a glider in the Alps at about 300 mph. They climbed to 1500 ft by a combination of slope and thermal lift and dived at 45deg, they then had a maximum of 30 mins to gain height before the reverse run. I am sure that someone has gone faster since though, again with a glider.

Cool, sounds good, if only a car or monster truck could go that fast!

Boat doesn't do much at first but then watch it fly...!!!
Basically they are illegally testing it on a duckpond...and yes it gets up to 183mph !!! as you will hear on the video

I recall seeing in a mag (AMI?) some guys in the UK building a model looking like a FD.2 (without a canopy) for a record attempt. Don't know how it went.

now i know it`s not a plane, and doesn`t do 300 mph, but car wise this is pretty quick FAST CAR TEST Click Here !!!!!

there all really cool, i like the vid on the boat! you can just hear the power as it fly's by.
I am looking for the fastest model of r/c vehicles so i can build/buy one to have as my own. I look at the giga crusher, does anyone know anything about it???

Josh, as you seem to be a noobie, I think, if you want something that fast, you had better get a reality check check first!!(Up until your last post I was taking the request as a genuine enquiry for information)
