On October 28, along an airport runway in St. George, UT, Nic Case completed a goal after which he's been searching for nearly a decade - being the first to break the 200 mph barrier with an RC car. Here's his video of the historic, record-setting run.

This claim is valid, as far as I know. Detailed information about what's inside the car will not be released until next year. Also keep in mind that this was an amateur effort. Done with off-the-shelf electronics! The chassis, body and tires are all custom, stemming from myself and my team's imagination. Thanks!
