You wouldn't want to fall down in the ring when that thing is going. I imagine that tether would be like a cheese slicer going through Velveeta.

talk about being close lined, that would hurt like shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttte, There's no point in having a RC car that fast, It'll be out of sight in like a few seconds, other wise it'll be out of range, so I mean that's faster than most real cars.

The scale on those cars is about the same as an Xmod/iWaver. So scale speed would be 200+ * 24 = 4800+ Scale Miles per hour. Now how can we get one of those engines in an iWaver?

I'm still kind of confused on what a tether car is but whatever...

tether cars are almost as old as the combustion engine. there's an antique toy store near me with some classics from the 40's. these guys were true pimps as materials were scarce due to war rationing so they had to improvise pretty much the whole car.

they arent r/c cars...petty little cox .049 engines on them. they do not have any way of throttle control so its just stop or go.
