Mini-me G35 Coupe
Anyone got one of these yet?
The $430 engine can run top speed of 75mph! Upcoming engine upgrade will top 80mph...
always wanted one of these......

Check out the video on the webpage....72.4 mph! What would be funny/interesting is to see this RCV run against a full-sized G35 on a quarter mile track.......

edit again: wierd, for some reason, i copied the link to the nitro car and it still sends to the electric version.
yes, the nitro should have no problem doing 75mph. i thought you were talking about the basic electric rated at 25mph.

i race rc car every year and i can tell you guys a story. Last yr, a cop stop by and use his radar gun to temp our rc car, on the straight road, it show 80mph and that suprised the cop. HAHA
well, we were running 1/8 scale, means this car is bigger and had a bigger engine than the one u guys seening right now, these are 1/10 scale, but it can still hit up to 60-70mph

I don't know about that RC car but the radio is total POS. If you want to go fast, stick with gas powered because there is no way electric will get up to 75 mph. Back in the day I used to race my Kyosho Optima 4WD with chain drive, I'd be lucky if I could hit 30 mph with tall gearing, fiberglass chassis, and aftermarket motor. IIRC, Trinity motors were the sh*t back in the day. The RS540 is pretty much standard with any entry level RC car - basically POS. I may have to get back into RC cars for fun.

yes, the video link on the webpage is to the video of the nitro version, not the electric.
The nitro version is clocked at 73.4 MPH.
You would have to be a very skilled driver to handle that car at those speeds....otherwise your mini-G35 coupe bodykit would sustain some serious roadrash everytime you crashed or had it run over after you accidently drove it into traffic....lol
what's also cool is the 350Z Nismo version. and you can even further customize it with blue underbody lighting, head/tail lights, license plate neon and antenna neon.....
