We have seen quite a few remote controlled toys and gadgets here at geeky gadgets, but none as fast as this one, the World’s fastest remote controlled car.

The World’s fastest remote controlled car. was created by Nic Case, and it has just broken the World record, managing to travel at a massive 161 MPH.

The car features an 11 horsepower remote controlled motor and a 12 cell battery pack which would normally be found in remote controlled airplanes.

The case for the car was handmade from carbon fiber, and it was designed to be aerodynamic, and it features an all wheel drive system for increased traction.

I have to admit this is pretty impressive, if anyone finds a video of it in action let us know.
