World’s Fastest RC Helicopter Hits 172MPH then crashes – Video

This extremely sleek machine takes RC technology to the extreme and is the world record holder for the fastest electrically driven helicopter. Just consider the fact that automobiles usually need roughly around 300 horsepower to be able to reach this kind of speed.

The Speed Banshee RC Heli is a modified version of a standard model. In addition to a special chassis made with carbon fiber, it uses a 160 ampere UHV YGE controller an aerodynamic landing gear and some rather custom made aerodynamics.

 

In this run it hit only 172mph but it can hit 293mph.
