For those of you wanting to see the XO-1 hit 100+ MPH now you can.....yeah I know its not exactly how Id like to see it hit 100+ MPH either but still pretty cool.

Agreed, give it a tailwind and see what happens.

I'm not really impressed with something that you need to have a large flat area to run. 1/10 or 1/8 scale is one thing, you can tool around the street or a parking lot. But something that goes 100mph is begging for a brick wall to jump out. I can't wait to see the first video of somebody demolishing one by accident. THAT will impress me!

Guys are hitting well over 100mph in standard mall parking lots and streets with the XO-1.
Lots of video on the tube of HS runs and crashes.
Here’s a good one.
This is what happens when you hit 75 without a body and the correct splitter installed.
I give the guy a perfect 10 on the backflip even though it was an accident.

That was close! :whhooo:

honestly thats not that impressive considering there are rustlers that will run in the 80's... i had a kentucky state trooper clock my old rusty doing 86 mph in a grocery store parking lot. granted i had alot of time and parts invested, brushless with metal rear drives, rpm parts, lipo, gearing etc. the electric funny cars do that kind of speed in 132 feet. so what really makes this that special? the backflip is pretty cool i will give you that.

+1

and THAT is impressive. Literally blink and miss it. Purpose drag cars are freakin' awesome.

I kinda like the idea of converting a slash to a sweet rally car!

Did someone do that? Or is that what you're doing?

 

[Greenskeeper]

Been reading others ideas all day on it! Want to build from parts! I just got a slash and it does handle nice on and off road!
