What an amazing journey this project has been. Hope you enjoyed this slightly different style of video. 😊

I’m calling out now, you may have beaten the world record at 94.76, but after knowing it has the “potential” to blow that record literally away, I can’t see you giving up now. This may be a record, but you will have to come back, because that drive to go faster and farther is there.
Massive congratulations to you and I hope to see you again! <3

[KevinTalbotTV]

Was good to see you again. Epic build, star of the show! Sucks you broke it but atleast it gives us content!!

[michelekingtiger]

I was honestly heartbroken to see how it ended but what you have built and developed over the last year can only be described as incredible!

[nzerusocia]

Perhaps for the next project you could add a first person POV cam with live feed on the car along with a trajectory mapping failsafe that will make sure the car drives straight with good steering.


Spectacular job none the less and kudos to you for getting to 140 with such a great concept. It's got an incredible amount of potential and as the aim was to learn and experience, all I see is a massive W mate! Cheer up!

Thanks for putting all the hours in, James. Been watching these videos today and they've really helped me get through a tough time. Fabulous engineering.

[TomleyRC]

Great Video James. It was one of the highlights of the weekend for me, and I felt your pain on the last run. Guinness World Record, and as we all witnessed, it had so much more to give and I know at some point you'll be back to push that Jet record even further. 😎

[zollotech]

Incredible to see those speeds and what you achieved. Would love to see you have a go at it again if possible.

[jjeairborne]

That failure is nothing less that inspiration to all of us engineers and technicians. Failure is the best opportunity to become the best in whatever we do. Thanks for your hard work and great video.

[Orihnge]

The passion and perseverance of engineers is always a spectacle and always leaves me in awe. Great work and love the RC!

[Troglobitten]

Amazing series to watch. I sure hope jetcat will be willing to sponsor an other attempt at this. I think you've proven yourself capable of pushing that record way higher.

[HMan]

Your best project yet. Keep up the good work!

[scorchedparts]

Congratulations on the record James. It’s clear there is a lot more to come from you! Sorry it ended in pieces, but you certainly put on a show for us all!

[marth]

Congrats on the official record!!! This project was a blast to follow!

[JiluMiah-ekrd]

You didn’t make the wrong call, boss. You made the right one, not giving up and choosing the competition. Well done mate!🎉

[laremere]

Congrats on record! All the progress you made here was great, and there's definitely room for more. As a suggestion, aviation uses check lists to avoid missing important steps. A list of each step needing to be done when preparing the car probably would've caught the missing screws. Including weather conditions might've stopped the final attempt as well. When doing a failure cause analysis, it's never just one thing, and failures can be an opportunity to identify process changes which are capable of eliminating entire classes of failures in the future.

Seeing the progression from your early days to now is amazing, great work!

[garyyoung]

You absolutely can not leave it here
You have the potential to do so much more
Please carry on young man

Thanks to JetCat for their (in the end) generous donation. :) Despite the dramatic finale, you should be super proud of what you've accomplished, and the potential it open up in your future! Great work, all around! Congrats!

Well done! "My aim was always to try to get as near as I could to the maximum power and efficiency from a jet engine." - Frank Whittle. He's proud of you mate. We are too!
