RC cars that go over 50 MPH
Thanks to technology, there are RC cars that can even go beyond 50 MPH. It isn’t easy to put an exact average figure to the RC car speed since each brand uses somewhat different components, including the motor, electric speed control, engine, etc.
On average, the speed of off-roading varies between 30 and 50 mph, while for rock crawlers, the speed could be between 20 and 40 mph. On the other hand, the RC monster truck also has a speed range of 20-40 mph, with a few exceptions.
So if you are in search of a top speed RC car, here are three recommendations that may appeal to people of all ages.
