the mini xe with a maga 2 turn and a 3-4cell lipo
www.combatwings.com

i recently saw an eslayer with some sort of mega motor( fraken huge) that was swingin a 7by 5 powered by 2 2100 3cell lipos that were ran together which was producing 22.2v
the plane easy got up to 100mph only a few seconds after it was thrown into the air. top speed was maybe 160 or so but if it would have gone any faster it might have fallen apart

let me know if you make a plane that is really fast i would like to see some pics of it

Why the need for speed? Surely a sweet flying aircraft that looks as if it could be real is better than a Mach 2 monster. My car can do 130mph (Im told) but why would I wish to do it when theres another road junction within a mile or so. Smoothness and elegance in all manouvres is everything. Both cars and models last a lot longer that way.

Check out sources like SoaringUSA, Icare and esprit... as there are tons of fast EP pylon and hotliner toys. My fastest is the Excite.

Fly safe, Glover

Hey Glover,
Those are really fast electrics, I watched the Excite videos.
Thanks,
