I see 4 cell lipo, a big honkin' brushless, and a 1:1 pinion/spur

If it was me, I'd put a gyro on the steering servo.

EDIT: Holy shat, there's four more cells on that damned thing!

Yep saw it with my own eyes..

That puppy was screamin.
He hit the wall and was unable to do a second run.... Might have gone faster.
It will be in the Nov. Dec. issue of RC Car Action Mag.
Insane.

How big of area do they have to run them?

How the hell do you control an rc doing 160 mph?
