Fastest Jet Powered RC Car - Guinness World Records

James Whomsley (UK), known for his “backyard aerospace engineering” YouTube channel @Project-Air has set a record for the fastest speed achieved by a remote controlled (RC) jet powered car.

James’s car reached the blistering speed of 152.50 km/h (94.76 mph) and said that this was the “most stressful, draining, and heartbreaking project” he’s ever done.

Congratulations James, great to see you got the record.

Had no idea Guinness did this as a record. I have rocket powered R/C as well, Last time we ran her on the expressway she passed me going over 100 mph

[skesinis]

Congrats James! This was a great achievement, even though the car experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly… It did also pass 88mph, so all it was missing was a flux capacitor 😊

Project Air is a great YouTube channel!

Watching tiny vehicles whiz along so quickly is a real thrill. So actually running them must be truly exhilarating.

[Lampe]

I actually watched his video on the creation of the car and am happy to see that the record got officially recognized!

[Pablo]

I watched the whole project from start to finish. It was excellent and really looked like it had a lot left in it.
I am hoping you'll repair it and try again.

[lateefpou]

Well done young man loved it. Keep going

94MPH! - I will tell others 137 :) Woo Hoo!
Rossa inspired me to engineer a set of high speed tires. I used 3" ID silicone car turbo tube (5mm thick w/ 3 ply reinforcing) as tires. Cut to 1.5" W rings and Glued them to 3"/2.2" 1:10 scale SC truck wheels. I would recommend 1:8 scale 4" wheels for your projects.

Thought this was a Project Air video at first. Cool to see Guinness gave him his own video, but kinda weird it’s just a rip of James’ video

[russellmartin]

Very impressive. Don't give up, go for broke and break your own record.

[FiglioBastardo]

Holy chit he did it! Congratulazioni James! Bravo, e belle colpo!

[Sturmtiger-]

[davidrivero]

[kmorris]

Congratulations kuya James. It was exciting to see the car get the record and saddening when it was destroyed.

Remember the sentence... Hardwork is the key to success.. 💫

[echobeefpv]

Not many people on the planet have a world record at anything, and you had to work for yours !! Great job, but I think that design has more speed in it. Would love to see you try again !

I didn't know a jet powered car was a world record. 97mph seems slow though compared to the rc car speed record
