No, not thrashed it yet, still setting up and tuning. Really loud, top speed is around 80-90khm though. Runs on a nitro-methane mix of fuel and lubricants. a 5.9cc engine which pumps out 3.75hp @ 39,500rpm.
Can't wait till it's tuned right and ready to bash around......

Nice!!!
Looks like a blast, have you had rc vehicles in the past? I've had a ton of fun with them over the past few years. Here's a few of my "creations", none as fast or as gnarly as yours though....
My custom built T-Maxx (R.I.P.) I accidently broke my nephews ankle with this one... I got a bit out of sorts on a corner near where he was standing...

ops:
My Brushless Electric E-Maxx (R.I.P.)
An my current ride, an brushless electric Rustler with a custom chassis.
Have fun and go get it dirty!!!!

nice. Last year my computer science/pre calc teacher/currently my computer science teacher was thinking of getting a rc car so he could strap a camera and a walkie talkie with an air horn attached to it so then he could yell at kids on the other end of the hall with it.

The specs on that thing are pretty OP! I thought my bike revved high but as Drew said 40k rpm is insane.
HF m8!
