These R/C Car Vs Audi R8 Drag Races Are Closer Than You Might Expect
Believe it or not, this 1/6 scale Audi R8 LMS will do 0-60mph in around the same time as the full-size road-going R8, making for some close short-distance drag races...
Yes, you really can get a radio control R8 that’s around as fast as the real thing. Well, up to about 60mph - after that this 1/6 scale Losi R8 LMS is all out of ideas. But still, that’s damn impressive, and it looks ludicrously fast in these fun drag races from the ladies and gents over at Autocar.
The R/C R8 is powered by a big 1200Kv brushless motor, and will set you back almost £1000. If you get one for Christmas, consider me very jealous…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I have a Traxxas rally car all wheel drive and it goes 0-60 in about 3ish seconds with the setup I have
[DELETED]
i used to race RC touring cars, they could easily hit 50mph in about 10 - 15 meters
Which traxxas. I have to telluride
My slash 4x4 lcg has an 8th scale brushless system that can send to around 70mph+. If geared correctly it can reach 100mph although the current setup is already WAY too fast. I don;t have any 70mph running footage yet, but I do have an assembly timelapse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTsAPBKbVBY
The results were electrifying!
As was that pun
At least it costs less then the real deal
Imagine an R/C car with a tiny V10 engine :D
in the video at 1:23 the lil car drifts and sounds like a little v10

Wow, you can literally drive that little R8 in traffic! Like some have done…
No, you can’t, cause it’s track-only r8 lms XD
raise it up and install an fpv system lol
That car costs like 3K USD
On my sources, I’ve only found it to be $1000
Duracell VTEC kicked in yo!
It seems like he cant handle the power (of the toy)
So quattro isn’t so grippy at all…
quattro has nothing to do with grip. tires do
I think it’s the really slippery drift tires
