    Run it in a car park I reckon.
    I dont think it would be fit for racing.
    Buy yourself a decent 1/10 scale leccie car and come and race with us :D

    100 metre range radio?
    A model RC race car does 100M in a couple of seconds.
    Sounds like this radio would not be capable of controlling a fast car due to lack of range.

    The lead acid battery provides confirmation. Modellers with speed or power in mind moved out of this battery technology about 10 years ago.

    This is a toy car ... a big one ... but still a toy.

    The power to weight ratio of our models is about 15 to 20 times higher.

    You could try the sticky thread "General Guide" in this forum for a start. :)
