In late October, a bunch of RC Speed fanatics got together in Quincy Illinois to put down some street burning times. Everyone seems to be after the Worlds Fastest RC Car title these days, and these guys wanted to get in some practice. The host was Pro Driver Tim Mohr, and good friend Mike Ogle of Grand Motorsports fame was kind enough to send me some pictures. I don’t believe any major records were broken, but I was told it was a good time, and everyone enjoyed dialing in their ultra fast vehicles.
Enjoy the pictures!

Here it is, the video of Nic Case’s 161.76mph run. At the moment, this is the World’s Fastest RC car run! If you scroll down below the embedded video, we have a local higher res version. This car was movin! It’s pretty short, hopefully we’ll get one with a few more angles.

There is also a local, higher res version located here:

Wow! While we are still waiting on official numbers from the International RC Speed Challenge, Schumacher USA has sent word that a modified version of their Mi3 has set a new World Record! Check out that Schumacher Mi3 “streamliner” shot!

This isn’t any of that ‘car on a string’ junk either! This is a RC car being driven down a track by a driver! Nic Case. The first pass with the car was 153.74 mph, and the second pass was 161.76mph! There are a lot of people trying to get that Worlds Fastest RC title, and this number is going to be a tough one to touch for a while!

Here is a sweet second shot of the car!
Congrats to all the drivers that made it out to the event, and special Congrats to Nic and Schumacher!
If you have stories, pictures, or videos, please drop me a email, we’d love to see them!
