HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- James Whomsley (UK), known for his “backyard aerospace engineering” RUclips channel @Project-Air has set a record for the fastest speed achieved by a remote controlled (RC) jet powered car.
James’s car reached the blistering speed of 152.50 km/h (94.76 mph) and said that this was the “most stressful, draining, and heartbreaking project” he’s ever done.

Fastest RC Car in the World 329 km/h
Congratulations James, great to see you got the record.
Congrats James! This was a great achievement, even though the car experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly… It did also pass 88mph, so all it was missing was a flux capacitor 😊
Oh wow a Elon Musk vocabulary !
Had no idea Guinness did this as a record. I have rocket powered R/C as well, Last time we ran her on the expressway she passed me going over 100 mph
Get it in the game boss! I was thinking 90 something mph was pretty unimpressive. Should be way higher.
Link to video?
@@onjofilms For using a jet engine, 90 is very impressive.
He achieved 137 mph, it just didn't count since the car lost it's nose. So it absolutely is possible to get it much faster, he had bad luck that day.
that's a separate record to the jet powered rc car
Watching tiny vehicles whiz along so quickly is a real thrill. So actually running them must be truly exhilarating.
Project Air is a great RUclips channel!
I actually watched his video on the creation of the car and am happy to see that the record got officially recognized!
Congratulations kuya James. It was exciting to see the car get the record and saddening when it was destroyed.
94MPH! - I will tell others 137 :) Woo Hoo!
Rossa inspired me to engineer a set of high speed tires. I used 3" ID silicone car turbo tube (5mm thick w/ 3 ply reinforcing) as tires. Cut to 1.5" W rings and Glued them to 3"/2.2" 1:10 scale SC truck wheels. I would recommend 1:8 scale 4" wheels for your projects.
I watched the whole project from start to finish. It was excellent and really looked like it had a lot left in it.
I am hoping you'll repair it and try again.
Thought this was a Project Air video at first. Cool to see Guinness gave him his own video, but kinda weird it’s just a rip of James’ video
Very impressive. Don't give up, go for broke and break your own record.
I didn't know a jet powered car was a world record. 97mph seems slow though compared to the rc car speed record
This is so cool i didn’t even thing an rc car can go that fast🎉
The world record for battery powered rc car is 219mph
Remember the sentence... Hardwork is the key to success.. 💫
Congratulations kuya James. It was exciting to see the car get the record and saddening when it was destroyed.
Well done young man loved it. Keep going
Holy chit he did it! Congratulazioni James! Bravo ,e belle colpo!
Nice pull Brah, considering . Not long ago you started with 3 sticks and some wheels . Go Team Project Air. !!
Congrats ProjectAir
Crazy watching something so small go so quick looked a hell of a lot faster than it was
👌🏾🫡💪🏽🤙🏾....Absolutely Awesome....This is about to be attempted every year🤞🏾
You do know those same tires are going over 200mph in other cars. So they should be the least of your worries
Not many people on the planet have a world record at anything, and you had to work for yours !! Great job, but I think that design has more speed in it. Would love to see you try again !
Calling them “cars” is a bit of a misnomer. They are really just a jet engine on wheels. 👍👍👍
Ha ha that’s just so funny
3D printing is amazing for prototyping, but for record breaking attempts he should really get some fibre glass/carbon fibre body panels.
Bro went faster than lightspeed
So happy you got it!
Did anyone else come here expecting a much higher speed? I was expecting 200mph lol.
crazy that sam is about to throw down 100mph plus with motors. you'd think jet power would be faster 😹
great video!!! ^w^
This deserves a Thrust 2 scale mock-up
kevin talbot was there to, there are some more clips of this car on talbots channel, also on james's channel.
Interesting and cool world record - congratulations!
Keep going with the amazing achievements!
Well done, you got the record... What you need to do now is look into point of pressure and point of thrust. Add caster to the steering. and also look into overall aero. have a good look at world speed record machines like Bill Fredrick's rochet car. Golden Arrow, Thrust, Speed Demon.....They're all that shape for a reason.
Super cool stuff 😮
That was amazing!!!
Congratulations on your World Record!!!
Take what you learned here on your next build. No strong cross winds next time. Scrub the run if weather conditions are not favorable!!
Cheers!!!

Great job James!!!
Really should get with Raz for a lot of your parts. His stuff is amazing and will cut down on some of the weight potentially
Proud of you and create more World Records
Congratulation brother, love from india
Awesome work, you need FPV on that jet car. Break another record.
Very cool project. Congratulations. It was a lot of work I imagine.
wow and congrats! does that have afterburners?
great work James anyway, you got the record dude
New Record, awesome. Does that bring new motivation to continue, improve, and raise this record to some incredible speed ? The car has it in it.
I have been waiting with baited breath from the rebuild and the re-run. Do you have some time lines?
I’m certain I watched this months ago. Congratulations all the same!
Have you ever thought about adding an electric motor and fan to suck the car down to the runway? Like the Brabham fan car?
Brilliant that you kept trying!
It was very impressive I'd say rebuild add some dive planes for a little down force and try it again
Awesome, great things might happen when you tinker around with tech…inspiring 🎉🎉🎉
He got the record!
Congratulations James
Welcome to the future add plasma aerodynamics
Cheers
Congrats!!!
well done! 👍
you can redesign it, and i'm sure you can go faster!
from Australia.
You would think that the tire manufacturer would have prebalanced the tires before shipping them to the customer.
a jet car could actually be incredibly fast around corners because you could angle the jec slightly down to get hella downforce
Back to the drawing board good luck, hope to see you break your own record..
Congratulations James! Great to see you finally got the record. But I´m wondering why the drivers stand is behind the model at the starting line, rather then in the middle of the track distance? Is it due to safety regulations or competition rules?
There is some competition with electric rc boats in Germany called "SAW" where the pilot is placed near the measuring section: ruclips.net/video/SCywrCH-Ujs/видео.htmlsi=HwynhlXYyJ9w7IiL.
he actually did it proud of him
Cant wait for version 3.0 make it wider with a functional air brake like bugatti esk
That is some crazy speed😮
You can hear Kevin cheering in background after speeds were relayed.
Kevin Talbot was there for sure!!
Maybe add a parachute you could pull after the finish line?
Fantastic safety. Fences that every car can drive under?
James, the nose is not a good choice and there's way too much rolling resistance in your tires especially with the downforce the current nose is generating. Scaled for that track they wheels/tires need to be very narrow, hard and fairly tall. You shouldn't need that much downforce in the nose (perfect aerodynamics would be a teensie but under nose lifting, though you won't want to be QUITE that close). I'm sure that you've seen the Bloodhound SSC (pretty much perfect aerodynamics for a rocket car) and that would be an EXCELLENT basis, but at this scale you'll need a wider stance (not the body, just the wheels) and taller wheels/tires because the scale surface that you're running on is MUCH rougher and bumpier than the salt flats. A larger diameter wheel will bridge a lot of the roughness. Tall thin wheels will also act as vertical stabilizers, and you won't have to enclose them because the rolling turbulence that they generate will be negligible. Looking forward to checking up on you. Good luck!
AAAWWW It's a shame about the crash. I bet if you had a calm day and another (guessing) $8000 bucks to rebuild it, that car would hit 150+ easy.
Seems a bit slow. I would have thought a jet rc would be faster than the out of box Arma rc cars. Some are breaking 100 mph +. Some of the faster electric are nearing 200 mph.
If you watch his video, it 100% had more in it, but ended up breaking up due to user error. It’ll be back with a vengeance
Well he did crash at 140 so....
In order for a landspeed record to stand you have to make two runs back to back and take the average of the two.
Congratulations james, sorry about the crash, flying has the same possibilitys for a crash, new or old. Thats part of being a person that thinks outside the box. Some things work well, other ideas at times do not. Hang in there james.
Imagine being faster than a old van
just watched a video from another RUclipsr who clocked his car (live on video) at almost 170MPH. it's battery powered. I figured Jet powered would be like 300 or something. I wonder why it's so much slower than battery powered?
Very cool!
Let's go!!
U needed rudders to be able to steer it in that cross wind
How do you steer at such speeds without oversteer? How do you steer when visual feedback disappears due to distance?
Richard Hammond, the scale version.
Congratulations on the World record. Terrific job, but everything comes at a price.
downforce vacuum powered by a jet engine would hold that sucker to the ground
Your nose cone was generating lft thats why it flew up because of the curve u had fast air ontop and slow air below. Also the symmetric areofoils at the back do nothing but increase drag
All I've got to say is pull air through the turbine from the bottom of the car and you will shatter records
This RC car reminds me of "Thrust II"
I'd liked to have heard ALL the sounds at the track and of the car. No music.
so sorry - but woooohoooooo!!! congrats
JAMES WHOMSLEY
Late upload.. watched Talbot's vid a while ago.
Congrats on the record but mate did you really taped the car and tried to run 100 mph?
try skatebord wheels next time
Strange comentator sound quality in this video
What is that bloodhound SSC rc version 🗿
Nice
Which model of jet engine is that by the way?
If your happy an you know it clap your hands .........nice rc speed run hope I'm around for next run time you get it running faster.happy New mph kph and that Kevin Talbot car the sausage man electric rc 4 motor 250.kph sick n speed fast
Gotta go the other direction too
the reason why the nose breaked should stop you to run second attempt. because , each try, the car defects... then breaks... there must be a machine which shows the condition of the body ...
the nose cone fell of because he forgot the 2 bolts lol
It sounds like a mini J79.
I hold the fastest rc electric jet record 160 mph on 10s.
ROSSA was the event you attended why not actually mention them in your video
