I just saw a video of the most insane rc car in the world, it goes so fast you can't even see it moving.

just keep going down and you will fing the video.

That is a tether car. It's attached to a cable which is anchored into the ground in the center of the circle. It's not RC. In fact, there isn't a single piece of RC gear in it.

Yeah I seen that a few years back it looks so pointless? Why would you want that to be your hobby?

The challenge is to go faster. The technology behind reducing drag in these models to make them go faster is incredible.

PedeBeater

Yeah but wouldnt you personally like driving a full control r/c instead of this?

Everyone has a different idea on what make a hobby, or anything else, fun. Personally, I'd rather be flying an RC airplane than any other type of model, but that's just me. The diversity is what makes modeling as a whole so enjoyable to so many people.

yea its kinda cool if you ask me.be it would be more cool if they went to the salt flats and did that.then they can hit some real speed records.not no dahm string thing atached.not saying it would be faster for you guys that like to prove someone wrong.im sure they hit 250mph now,i seen that video about 2-3 years ago.

Yea lol i think this is the most posted vid ever ive seen it at least ten times

hands without shadows

Its posted every 3 months or so.

Frank88888888

lol its on a rotation

BeenThere

Tether cars been around for many years. I've seen articles about them from the early 50's.
How do you think RC cars got started????
I think it's kinda cool.
For those guys, building a car ment engineering the parts and then milling them from raw stock. They didn't just pick out parts from a magazine and then order them at the LHS.

FAKE LOOK AT THE BIRDS IN THE BACKROUND. ps they edited the flag to be slower but they were retarded and diddent edit the birds.

How do you stop?

I think you just let the car run out of fuel and wait. I know that tether cars can reach an extremely high rate of speeds. But as the guy above said look at the birds they do fly pretty quick. So I'm sure there was some video editing done. Maybe these guys are quite going as fast as other cars are so they made it look that way but these cars can get up to the 200 mph mark.

But yes I do think it is on a rotation though as I have seen this posted or post's about this same thing about 30 million times so far, But hey they dont know that it has been posted that many times though.

specracer

how is that fake?those birds are them little ones that fly really fast and fly in one spot for a few seconds.and the flag, what is wrong with the flag,the wind is blowing it around lol

Rafiki

yeh,it's fake....

must be a conspiracy
LOL

specracer

yea lol. total proof.

ASSOCIATED_DRIVER

Its not fake, the video is just old. Thats just how some digital playback are. The video may look like fake, but the speed that tether cars can achieve is real.

R/C fan-addict

ok I have to agree that the "birds" are flying too fast and they certainly aren't sparrows or any other little fast birds, the black dot whizzing around is a gnat or flie really close to the lens. No bird flys in loopy patterns like that, it's a bug. lol

specracer

true lol.

Titleist

Thats a friggen bug......that thing is like 2ft in front of the camera

Frank88888888

Lol of all the times ive seen it being posted its the first time people talk about the authenticity lol that would be hilarious if it ended up being fake after all these posts about it.

RS4rallydriver

I don't know why, but that post had me falling out of my chair LOL. it's odd how just the way something is worded can make it seem hillarious to me. oh, but it is a cool vid, that's the first time I saw it.

R/C fan-addict

really in almost a year at RCU you've never seen this video posted before? I've seen it at least 6 times and once someone asked about the authenticity.

RS4rallydriver

naw, I never saw it before now, but if I had, I probably would have thought they were unusually fast for birds too. that vid makes me wonder if a tether car can be made R/C. would servos 'N stuff weigh it down too much for it to hit the same speeds? and I guess you would have to add an extra wheel?
