wheres the excitement?



[wetwater90]

But it sounds gay!



[NathanSGBrazil]

no sound , no fun

[lawsonnate]

For everyone saying it's slow, it did 12:20 this year (2011) That's faster than the second place Open Class vehicle (12:33) Not bad for an RC car.

[IAmOpenMinded]

Slow huh? For a better perspective just how fast this car was going, watch this video: watch?v=P-TLmR6_Ufg&feature=re­lated

And NO, a stock Prius cannot perform any where close to this car. Get a brain people!

[Billswiftgti]

fucking hate that sound

[daswada9]

try with the White Zombie electric car

[FinnsterW]

What did he beat? A prius?

[fatmankillsu]

@FinnsterW no a prius could beat it

[CaptainHurricane]

Hell that thing is slow. What records did it smash, the pedal car class ?

[y0h3s]

@CaptainHurricane

its taking part in the EV class, don't make yourself sound like an idiot by comparing EVs to gas powered hill-climb cars.

[CaptainHurricane]

@y0h3s Even for an EV it's very slow. I've seen some very fast electric cars, but this isn't one of them.

[SVKmellow]

@CaptainHurricane EVs can be actually a lot faster than any petrol car... the issue is with solely with the batteries.

[michaelmeindl96]

slow =(



[FullyNimble]

@michaelmeindl96 yeah i dont know how that smashed any records, the only other competition must have been prii.

The chirping sound is a noisemaker so you can hear it coming and don't get run over.

[3089280288]

What's that chirping sound?

[Kaboutermuts2000]

At least the engine doesn't suffer from powerloss due to low oxigen :D
