This is Gary Weaver's aluminum R2 that inspired an army of droid builders, myself included.
Even by today's standards you've got to admit that it's one super fast droid.

Wow... Talk about a flashback :) It's a real shame I never took a video of the fourth run. That was the one where I went full tilt and the droid slowly started to veer to the right. Since these were scooter motors they didn't have any braking system. Sure enough R2 ended up right smack in the gutter, bent the center foot all to heck and cracked the inner frame. It all fixed up just fine, but that was the end of my R2 racing days :) At least on city streets.

I love how people can make more functional and more reliable astromech droids than they did in the films.

Reminds me of Episode 3, when the jedi r in the ray shield, when he is being chased by Droidikas

What did you clock that Astromech Droid at?
(Looks like 15mph?)
