Any of you South Florida guys wanna race tonight? I will bring my R/C Red Lightning and put a hurtin on you guys

 

If only I lived closer

 

I'm sorry but you'll have to run that baby in the Pro-Stock class

 

How fast is that thing

 

Next big Tower L Meet I'll race you with a totally stock TL01!

Right now about 45mph, removed driveshaft that runs the front wheels, should pick-up some speed from that. I've been told if it's set-up correctly it will hit 60mph!

 

next time i get out to Fl, ill bring my RS4. ive had it clocked at 73 mph. it will even destroy my lightning up to 60 mph....chris

 

They are fast, I got a RS4 Pro II that I don't use very often becuase it's insanely fast and hard to control. I almost took my foot off last time it was using it. Working on a F-100 body for it, red with color-change ghost flames.

And if thats not enough, I can bring my .21 powered Mugens: MBX-4XR or MRX-3

 

Sweet Car! Heres mine, gotta get the f150 body for it though.

2 Speed Tranny :-)

I'll have to take some more pics with the electronics in.

 

Not many things on this planet can compete with that. YOU WIN

SpankDog, Nice Pro 3, I like the sway bar set-up.

 

i just read you whole website and im still not scared!!

 

This might help you....Similar Car, I have seen them hit over 100mph!

The Proceed is the first 1/8 scale racing kit from HPI Racing. For serious racers looking for the ultimate in speed and tuning capability, look no further! This is the kit to have.

Capable of 0-60 in less than 3 seconds on the way to a top speed in excess of 70 mph, the Proceed is not for the faint of heart! This is a kit for the truly hard-core racer who wants to experience the most demanding on-road R/C racing experience. With A final races routinely an hour long at most club events, 1/8 scale on-road racing is a very rigorous and exacting hobby!

I like my HPI, but for someone looking for a R/C lightning Tamiya now makes one. Click Here . Looks pretty nice to me, pretty sure it would be quick too.

 

The first photo's I post are the same kit highly modified.

 

Whoops I shoulda noticed, oh well, now we know where to get one if anyone wants one. Not sure what the cost is but you can call this a "real" R/C car compared to the toysRus one, so if you want something fast this is what to get.
