    ...WhoMe makes an EXTREMELY valid point...one which i wish the whole world would agree with..Speed is in the eye of the beholder...if it feels fast to you, good job...if its TOO fast, you will break it...if its too slow...move on...nice job buddy...you are beginning to get wise in your old 'RC' age

    If I saw someone like that crawling out from the rear of an automobile, I'd be wondering if he was stealing something....

    Good point about the speed thing. I often find that with people just getting into RC. They have radiocrap RC's that go"25" on the box. Then they get a car that goes around 15-20 actuall and they think its like 50. The half eight is fairly quick with my tuned 4.8 graupner, and matched 8 cell pack putting out 12 volts. But I doubt its over 30. The only real way to test is to measure it out, have a buddy drive his car next to it (not over it) or buy a radar gun. Until then, my half eight is simply kinda fast.
    ps, I need some of those glasses!

    you could probably hit around 40 with the inferno..but it wouldnt be easy
    youd need brushless, and lipos, and the car would be need to be all alloy and CF...then youd have to re-tune it and re-tune it....
    id shoot for something a bit more recheable..like 25-30


    and you should slap your dad with a large, mustard covered, salami...just right in the side of the head...rc's are totaly not a waste of money...what elese are gonna do with your money?
    save up for real car? put it in the bank to buy a house and support a family someday? buy schoolbooks for collegde!? those are total wastes of money, not r/c
