My nitro R/C car has a two-speed gearbox and is only good for 80MPH. But this is next-level:

the new electric brushless rc cars can totally out accelerate the nitro ones...i know.. i stupidly lost a bet thinking my nitro could beat one..
much the same as the new electric cars can outperform a petrol car nowdays... the end of the combustion engine is nigh
mind u the power to weight ratio in that rc will be wayy better that any of those supercars..
i hate to be scientific cause im no scientist but also the inercia comes into play too........look at me being all sciency and i cant even spell

Lol theres also the G effect of a much smaller item, but I leave all that to the paper engineers lol

Brushless motors do rock tho hahahaha

Also aerodynamics. The Reynolds number of a given design will start doing some very odd things to it when you scale down that far.

But that's your field than mine!
